What started as two strangers bonding over the worst thing that ever happened to us has evolved into a comedy podcast about grief, healing, and all the messy, inappropriate, hilarious moments in between. We're here to prove that grief doesn't have to be all tissues and hushed voices - sometimes it's ugly crying while laughing at your own jokes. Through honest conversations, inappropriate humor, and zero filters, we're creating a space where grief gets real and healing gets funny. Because if we don't laugh about it, we'll cry about it, and frankly, we're tired of crying.

    Death & Sex

    Grief f***s with everything, including your sex drive. This week we're getting messy and honest about death and intimacy: how loss can send your libido into overdrive or kill it completely, why you might find yourself looking for physical connection in all the wrong places, and how your need for intimacy can get weaponized against you when you're vulnerable. We talk about using sex as a coping mechanism, why we recommend taking a year off dating if you're single and grieving (spoiler: go to a support group instead), and how suicide loss survivors can struggle to believe they're even lovable because of the way they lost their person. We also dive into International Suicide Loss Survivor Day: why it might be too much when you're freshly grieving but becomes incredibly healing later on. The support groups break you out by who you lost, the walks are a gentle way to dip your toe into community, and by year three, you might even find yourself laughing. Progress is real. Plus: how to regulate your nervous system through positive self-talk and self-touch (yes, including masturbation), why it's hard to love yourself out loud when grief has you convinced you're unlovable, and how to ask yourself what you really need instead of reaching for casual intimacy. There's no wrong way to grieve, but learning from your mistakes and forgiving yourself matters. Your homework: write a letter to your body. Women already go through enough—your body deserves some love. 💙 💬 How has grief affected your relationship with intimacy?

    Secondary Losses

    Losing someone you love doesn't stop at their death. It's just the beginning of losing a thousand other things you didn't see coming. This week we're talking about secondary losses: the friendships that vanish, the trust that shatters, the ability to make small talk without trauma dumping, and all the other b******t grief takes from you when you weren't looking. We dive into how people surprise you, sometimes by showing up when you least expect it, and sometimes by completely disappearing. Shoutout to Aleksei's ex who skipped her dad's funeral but made it to Burning Man. We talk about getting ghosted by dates after mentioning your dead parent, losing the feeling of safety in relationships, living in permanent fight or flight mode, and how "waiting for the other shoe to drop" becomes your new normal. Plus: how to tell someone you're a fresh suicide loss survivor without sending them running, and why finding a grief community matters (because they actually know how to show up.) Secondary losses are the grief nobody warns you about, until now. 💙 💬 What else did you lose when you lost your person?

    How Grief Lives in the Body

    This week we got real about something no one talks about: what happens to sex, intimacy, and trust after you lose someone. We dive into dating as single grievers, why hookups can feel like medicine or trigger panic attacks, how sex can make you feel in control when everything else is chaos, and why intimacy actually feels better now because we know ourselves more deeply. You can only feel as good as you can feel bad—and we've felt it all. We also get into trust: learning to trust other people again, but more importantly, learning to trust yourself after grief shatters that foundation. We have a deep, vulnerable conversation about our friendship, why it's okay to ask someone if they're having suicidal ideations (it helps, it doesn't encourage), and how people don't know what you're going through unless you communicate it. Plus: why asking for help is hard but necessary. This episode is about how grief lives in your body and the importance of somatic healing—Reiki, sound healing, the Sedona Method—and how self-touch (yes, including masturbation and self-hugs) can help you trust yourself again. It's about becoming your own safe space after people didn't show up the way you needed them to, feeling your feelings without drowning in them, and finding the better version of yourself through internal healing. 💙 🧠 November is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month - let's keep the conversation going. 💬 What's your biggest grief timeline frustration?

    Grief Milestones: The Suckiveraries

    Suckaversaries are our way of saying sucky anniversaries... like death days, birthdays, and holidays. With Thanksgiving around the corner, we're diving into the dates that suck the most when your person is missing and how to actually get through them. This week we talk about why certain dates feel impossible, how to navigate family gatherings when you're barely holding it together, and the pressure to be "festive" when you're falling apart. We discuss the three main options for handling suck-versaries: redesign the day with new rituals, opt out entirely and skip it, or show up with boundaries and an exit plan. There's no right way to do this—only your way. We share our own chaotic holiday stories, the traditions we abandoned vs. the ones we kept, and why it's okay to hate Thanksgiving (or any holiday) right now. Plus: how to deal with well-meaning relatives who don't get it, why some years are harder than others, and permission to grieve the person at the table while everyone else is passing the mashed potatoes. If you're dreading the upcoming holidays, this episode is for you. You're not alone, and you don't have to pretend to be okay. 🦃💙 🧠 November is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month - let's keep the conversation going. 💬 What's your suck-iversary story?

    How Sad Girls Move On

    This week we're debunking the b******t idea that you're supposed to "get over it" from losing someone you love. Spoiler: you don't get over it. You move on AND you move forward, and there's a huge difference. We talk about the pressure to be "better" by now, the people who tried to rush our grief, and why acceptance doesn't mean you've gotten over it. Aleksei shares how being with someone who didn't do the work pushed her to find support groups full of people who actually get it. We dive into the tsunami parable about how grief is a wave you have to swim through not run from, and discuss finding "the gift" in loss without toxic positivity b******t. Plus: the importance of finding a therapist who matches your vibe, integrating your loss into real life, honoring your person with memorial jewelry, and the will to live when everything feels impossible. Your grief timeline is yours. Anyone who f***s with it can f**k right off. 🎙️💙 🧠 November is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month - let's keep the conversation going. 💬 What's your biggest grief timeline frustration?

    Interview with Kevin Hines - Golden Gate Bridge Survivor & Mental Health Hero | Part 2 🌉💙

    Part 2 of our conversation with Kevin Hines gets even deeper. Kevin finishes the story of how he met his wife Margaret (spoiler: he told her he was a volunteer at the psychiatric hospital, not a patient). We talk about tenacity, overcoming bullying and racism, and doing things when people tell you you can't. Then we get into the important stuff: why suicide isn't selfish - it's people in unbearable pain. Kevin introduces us to the term "brain pain" and explains how restrictions actually save lives. He championed the fight to get nets installed under the Golden Gate Bridge, battling the bridge authority for decades and he's even making a movie about it called "The Toll". We also discuss the discrimination people struggling with mental health face, the miracle sea lion named Herbert who saved Kevin's life, and the moment his dad took him back to the bridge for closure. "When people feel valued, they do not take their lives." - Kevin Hines This episode will change how you think about suicide prevention. 💙 CONNECT WITH US: 📱Website: www.2Girls1Grief.com Email: 2Girls1Grief@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and X - link in bio 💕RESOURCES: 🆘 If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide or you just need someone to talk to, call 988 or text HELP to 741741 now.
