About this episode

Phethile Mahlalela discusses the complexities of grief and emotional struggles in a heartfelt conversation.

Grief does not always look like tears. Sometimes it looks like survival. It is rereading the same message over and over, forgetting simple things, showing up with a smile while silently carrying exhaustion, confusion, anger, and pain that words cannot fully explain. Psychology Post Graduate and founder of Faith Infused Mental Health Hub, Phethile Mahlalela, joined Tlotlang Moletsane for a heartfelt conversation on the realities of grief, emotional functioning, and the silent battles many people carry while life continues moving around them. A powerful and necessary discussion reminding us that grief is not weakness, but the human spirit trying to navigate the unbearable. 🕊️🤍 RISE fm
