## Sobre este episodio

Do You Feel Invisible? Aging brings physical, emotional, and social changes that we may not always know how to name. We may feel that others no longer see us in the same way, that we have lost certain roles, or that our sense of identity is changing. All of this can lead to real grief, even though it is rarely discussed. In this episode of Transforming Grief, I reflect on the losses that can emerge as we grow older and on the importance of acknowledging them instead of carrying them in silence. In this episode, you’ll discover: ​ Why some changes related to aging can create a sense of grief. ​ How the loss of independence, identity, or familiar roles can affect the way we see ourselves. ​ Questions that can help you recognize what you are feeling and begin to move through this transition with greater purpose and meaning. Life may be understood by looking backward, but it must be lived forward. Naming what hurts can be the first step toward transforming it. If you are going through a season of change and feel that you have lost a part of who you once were, my online program, The 11 Principles of Transformation®️, can support you as you recognize, process, and transform this transition with greater understanding, hope, and meaning.
