In 2019 at the age of 30, Brooke lost her father to cancer and immediately searched for resources that respected the gravity of emotions in her grieving process that also offered concrete support. The Grief Coach provides a leading new voice on grief covering everything from the practical to the emotional. Interviewing guests such as innovators in funeral arrangements, spiritual leaders, therapists, authors, and grievers themselves, Brooke has created a space she needed but could not find—one that respects profound loss and the practicality of needing to make decisions in heartbreak.

Binging this
Just listened to a bunch of episodes. I am researching grief podcasts and this one is up there with the best. I love the approach and the goals and I think anyone who is grieving will find this informative and comforting.
What I Needed
I wish that I had been into podcasts back in 2016 when my dad died. These are the conversations and the information that we need to share. Thank you so much!
