  1. Motherless on Mother’s Day

    May 28

    Motherless on Mother’s Day

    Mother’s Day after loss can feel incredibly complicated. In this episode, we talk about the grief, avoidance, resentment, and longing that can surface around a holiday centered on celebrating moms when your own is no longer here. We reflect on the pressure to hold it together, the ways we’ve coped over the years, and how grief can deepen relationships with other motherly figures while still never replacing the person we miss most. This conversation is about making space for the messy emotions that come with grieving a mother and honoring the love that still remains.

  2. Resources and Tools - Where did we go for help

    Resources and Tools - Where did we go for help

    So what’s going to help in grief? In this episode, we’re talking about the tools and resources we turned to while navigating grief. From therapy (and finding the right fit) to journaling, group support, and even “busy-ness” as a coping mechanism. We share what helped, what didn’t, and what took time to trust. We also dive into self-help books recommendations as you navigate emotional waves and resistance to healing. Sometimes it's the small practices that slowly make a difference! Most importantly, we reflect on the role of community and the people who showed up when we needed it most. There’s no magic fix. Healing is personal, takes effort, and often comes from a mix of tools over time, so just take it a little bit at a time.

    Funerals and Celebrations of Life

    One of the first public events after losing someone is usually a funeral or celebration of life ceremony. In this episode, we dive into this ritual - which feels like an impossible task of honoring loved ones while you’re still falling apart. We share stories about the planning process, grappling with the rollercoaster of emotions, and finding personal meaning inside traditional spaces. We explore the complexity of holding space to grieve, remember, and honor with community by accepting support and grace to feel all the feelings. A conversation for anyone overwhelmed by all the different ways to honor the loss of a loved one - and maybe not knowing where to start.

    Year 1 - The World Doesn’t Stop

    The first year after losing a parent is intense, disorienting, and deeply heartbreaking. In this episode, we talk about what no one prepares you for—the logistics of grief like choosing an urn and tracking down documents, the challenge of telling people and owning your decisions, and navigating disagreements when others don’t understand. We explore shifting relationships, learning to trust yourself, the heaviness of anniversaries and holidays, the isolation that can set in, and the importance of community support. A conversation for anyone surviving that first year while the world keeps moving forward.
