Michael Cruz Kayne chats with friends, comedians and other notable types about grief. Not just the hard parts, but also the memories that make us laugh, the dumb stuff people said to us, and the way we recovered...or didn't. Each episode is a funny, joyful, and also sometimes really really sad reflection on grief, but that's ok. Good even.

Hard to binge but worth it
I just discovered this podcast and like any new podcast I find, the instinct is to binge all the episodes. It’s hard to do that here but taking slow bites is what I seem to be doing. There’s something so freeing in hearing and being present in someone else’s grief. As a person who has lost a lot, that feeling of “I can’t talk about this because I’ll make someone else uncomfortable” has been in my life since I was a child. It’s refreshing to hear it spoken about so openly
Like PT for the spirit (mine, not my loved one)
I just discovered this podcast a few weeks ago and I’ve been listening to a couple of episodes each day.
As the episodes progress the dives get deeper and the work is heavier but also much more incisive and insightful.
If we think of the death of a loved one like an injury to the body, those wounds do heal with time. But doing the emotional work in this podcast is like adding physical therapy after regaining 60% function and realizing you were not even using the muscle to its full capacity before you got hurt.
Thank you for helping me heal.
What a gift
This podcast has been such a gift. I really appreciate how Michael Cruz Kayne explores many avenues of grief. Each episode has offered comfort and understanding and I walk away feeling better. I have recommended this to several people and always begin the description with how gentle, kind, and compassionate it is.
