Have you ever welcomed something new into your life, something you thought would fill you with joy, only to feel guilt instead? In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg reflects on the unexpected emotions that surfaced when she brought home her new puppy, Maggie. What she believed would be a moment of pure happiness was instead met with guilt, as though she was replacing her beloved Lola, along with a wave of grief and confusion. Through this tender experience, Sarah explores a universal truth: we don’t just grieve the ones we’ve lost, we grieve the seasons of life they held. A past job, a past relationship, even a past version of ourselves can bring the same quiet ache when a new chapter begins. You’ll learn: Why new beginnings can stir old grief, and why that’s completely normal. How to make space for new love without feeling like you’re abandoning the past. Simple reminders to help you move forward gently, without forcing joy before it’s ready. This is an episode about understanding that love isn’t replaced, it expands. Moving forward doesn’t erase what was meaningful. It simply shows that your heart is still open, still capable, and still growing. Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.
