It’s a fact: death is inevitable, and so is grief. It can stop us in our tracks, regardless of the amount of time that's passed. Good Grief is a six-part, sixty-minute binge of true, short stories that immerse us in the grieving process, find healthy (and avoid unhealthy) ways to cope, and even share a few laughs. Comfort, community, and catharsis guide this audio portrait of love and loss.

Last Day Preview: Everyone Out Here is Armed
In episode 1, our team travels to Montana, where cowboy culture reigns supreme, everyone is armed, and 86% of firearm deaths are suicides. There, we meet a couple that represents all the contradictions at the root of America’s gun debate: One is a suicide prevention advocate, and the other is the most adamant Second Amendment supporter we’ve ever met. Plus, our team tries out shooting some big-ass guns.

From Bad to Worse: COVID’s Toll on a Top Child Care Center
We are excited to share another Lemonada Media show you will love. It's called No One Is Coming to Save Us and it tackles the American child care crisis. No One Is Coming to Save Us has new episodes out every Thursday.
Gloria is back and ready to tackle America’s child care crisis head-on. To kick off season 2, she calls up Lauren Cook, CEO of Ellis Early Learning in Boston. We met Lauren back in season 1, where she walked us through the nitty gritty of how much it costs to operate a child care center. This time around, Lauren tears up as she talks about how nationwide labor shortages are reverberating through the child care system, what she has to do to keep the lights on at Ellis, and how the ongoing pandemic has made a bad situation continue to get worse.

Customer Reviews
A comfort for those grieving
I lost my daughter to stillbirth this past 2020. These stories are harrowing, tragic, and beautiful. I’m finding comfort in the stories of grief from others. Thank you for this.
Host Needs To Check Her Privilege
On the most recent Last Day episode, the host of this show joked about wishing she was in prison so she could read all of the time, then laughed about it. How incredibly insensitive to those who are currently incarcerated (many black men) for crimes they didn’t commit and for low level marijuana possession. Check yourself, Claire. I hope your clients are ok with you as their therapist. Yikes.
They know
Having suffered a terrible and sudden loss, I find these stories to be like connecting with others who know. Well done
