Episode Details

Grief isn’t only about death. Every big change can be a loss, and each Enneagram type needs something different to grieve in a healthy way.

In part 2 of our grief series, Damon and Kelly walk through all 9 Enneagram types. You’ll hear what each type needs, the invitation each one can accept, and how to use your arrows (growth directions) when grief gets messy.

Why change, even happy change, can bring grief: a new house, a different car, an empty nest, a milestone birthday.

What each type needs when grieving:

 Type 1: Permission to grieve imperfectly, with help from the 4 and the 7
 Type 2: Someone who asks how you’re doing, plus boundaries from the 8
 Type 3: Rest instead of performing, and a move toward the 9
 Type 4: Feeling deeply without becoming the grief
 Type 5: Support and connection without isolating
 Type 6: Reliable people, honest information, and one small daily action
 Type 7: Staying with the hard feeling before reaching for the silver lining
 Type 8: Safe people who can see your tender side
 Type 9: Taking up emotional space and answering “how are you” honestly

If you’re walking through loss right now, or want to support someone who is, this episode gives you practical, type-specific ways to move forward without carrying grief into your next chapter.
