Chatmosa Session - Good Grief Be Good With Time
In the latest episode of our podcast series, titled "Good Grief Be Good With Time," host Nish delves into the complexities of time, grief, and the importance of cherishing moments of joy amidst life's challenges. The session, recorded on March 9, 2026, aligns with the start of Daylight Savings Time—a transition that sparks a myriad of reflections for Nish, as she questions the necessity and implications of this time shift in the context of our lives.
Nish begins the conversation by expressing her dislike for Daylight Savings Time, positing that the hour we "lose" is not merely an illusion but a poignant reminder of the precious time that we can never regain fully. "Time is passing," she poignantly notes, as she reflects on the broader societal issues and personal grief that surround her and so many of us. This sentiment is particularly resonant in 2026, a year marked by unsettling global events that often overshadow the personal, quiet grieving we experience in our lives.
Drawing from her experiences and observations, Nish shares profound insights about the nature of grief and remembrance. She encourages listeners to reconsider their relationships with their loved ones who have passed, suggesting that "you don’t have to say goodbye" and that nurturing those bonds can be a source of strength and solace. This perspective fosters an understanding that memories can be empowering rather than solely painful, offering a way to keep our lost loved ones close to our hearts.
Throughout the episode, Nish also highlights the enormity of living in the present. Drawing inspiration from Tig Notaro, a well-known comedian and filmmaker whose documentary “Come See Me in the Good Life Light” explores themes of loss, she emphasizes the necessity of savoring good moments and appreciating life's beauty amid turmoil. "When you come through something like this...you take time to enjoy and recognize the good things," she quotes, reinforcing the idea that joy can coexist with sorrow.
One of the most poignant stories shared comes from Nish's account of a friend who juggles the demands of caring for a parent while trying to maintain her own passions and connections. This narrative illustrates the delicate balance many face and serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of carving out time for personal joy, no matter how busy life may seem. "You can still do what you love," she encourages listeners, urging them to spend a few moments each day in reflection and gratitude for the memories of those they have lost.
A key actionable insight from this session is the recommendation to actively engage with our memories and to prioritize what brings us joy, regardless of external circumstances. Nish passionately entreats her audience to "make the best of it" every day, aiming to reclaim time lost to burdens and grief.
As the episode draws to a close, Nish leaves us with a heartfelt message: “I hope that every day you spend time loving yourself and loving life, as we don’t have a lot of it.” This summary encapsulates a conversation rich with emotion, offering encouragement to listeners to navigate their grief while simultaneously celebrating the vibrancy of life.
In a world where time can often feel fleeting, the reflections from this session remind us that while we might not control our external circumstances, we can embrace each moment with intention and love. Join us in our next episode for more insightful discussions that tackle the nuances of life, grief, and resilience.
