In this episode, I sit down with therapist and grief counselor Zulma Williams for an honest conversation about grief, trauma, healing, and the emotional unpredictability of loss.

We talk about why grief has no timeline, how loss reshapes identity, what grief ambushes actually feel like, and the difference between carrying grief and being consumed by it.

Zulma is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with clients navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. But more than that, she’s someone who deeply understands the emotional reality of loss.


At its core, The Carried Forward Podcast is about one thing:
learning how to live with grief without losing yourself inside of it.


This conversation explores:

  • why grief and trauma are so deeply connected
  • the pressure people feel to “move on”
  • what healing actually looks like after loss
  • why grief changes identity
  • how to support someone who is grieving
  • the emotional reality of grief ambushes
  • why it’s okay to not be okay

Not the funeral. Not the first year. The weird specific one nobody talks about.

I asked that question recently and over nine hundred people answered. Their responses told me everything I needed to know about why this show exists.

In this first episode I'm introducing The Carried Forward Podcast — what it is, who it's for, and why I built it. I'm Robert DelFave, grief coach, David Kessler Certified Grief Educator, and someone who lost both parents before the age of thirty. For twenty years I carried that grief alone. This show is what I wish had existed back then.

Every episode of The Carried Forward Podcast asks one question: what does carrying grief forward actually look like? I'll be sitting down with grief professionals, researchers, therapists, authors, and people with profound lived experience to find out.

Grief doesn't end. It transforms. And the goal isn't to get over it — it's to carry it forward.

In this episode:

  • Why nine hundred strangers on the internet changed how I think about grief
  • The four month drop-off nobody talks about
  • What the Carried Forward Framework is and why I built it
  • What to expect from this show
