her mum to motor neuron disease and her beloved dog Tita in the same year. About grief that comes not from death but from any kind of loss, a relationship, a job, a friendship, a version of your life that did not happen the way you planned. About what it means to be loving someone through their final chapter right now. And about the eight years it took to write a book from a dog’s perspective because sometimes the only way to get close enough to the truth is to tell it from a different angle.

She also says something that I have not been able to stop thinking about.

Grief is not something you get over. You might get through it. But you never get over it.

Because the opposite of love is grief. And love does not have a finish line.

If you have ever been handed the wrong word for what you were feeling, this episode is for you.

HOST BIO  

Rachel Elimelech is the warm, courageous voice behind Unspoken Emotions – a podcast that gives voice to the feelings we so often keep buried. A qualified Solicitor and Higher Court Advocate, Rachel combines professional insight with deeply personal lived experience – from surviving sexual abuse, loss, and single parenthood to rebuilding her life with quiet strength and unwavering resilience.

Her journey from teenage single mum to respected legal professional has shaped her gift for deep connection. With empathy and authenticity, Rachel creates a safe, judgment-free space where guests are invited to speak the unspoken – grief, guilt, shame, anger, fear – and begin to let go of what no longer serves them.

Through honest, unfiltered conversations, Unspoken Emotions explores how real people have turned pain into purpose and silence into healing. Rachel believes that healing begins the moment we speak the truth of our experiences – and that none of us should carry our emotions alone.
