Episode Details

Most mornings, Daniel scrolls past the Times of Israel's "Those We Have Lost" section and thinks: do we still really need this? Then he feels ashamed for thinking it. This episode takes that private, involuntary question seriously — what clinical psychology actually says about grief that lasts, why prolonged grief disorder is a minority outcome rather than everyone's destination, and how stigma silences people who ask whether a memorial has run its course. Along the way: what 1,231 Israeli adults told researchers about PTSD trajectories, why the "five stages" model keeps generating guilt, and what Türkiye's experience with mass commemoration can teach about the politics of remembering.
