What do you do when no one wants to talk about your loss—or hear your grief at all? In this episode, Susan Lieu, author of The Manicurist's Daughter, shares what it was like to grow up in a family where her mother's death was never acknowledged.

Together, we explore:

  • Why some families avoid talking about grief

  • The long-term effects of unspoken loss

  • How to process grief solo when support isn't available

  • The healing power of creativity and storytelling
