    You Can’t Make This Up: The things people have said after they have lost someone

    This week, Nadine and Kayla dive into the unbelievable and sometimes disturbing things people say to those who are grieving. From their own personal experiences to shocking Reddit stories, they unpack the comments that make you think - you can’t make this up. It’s raw, honest, and a reminder that grief doesn’t always bring out the best in others.

    Expectation vs. Reality: The Truth About Grieving

    In this episode, we open up about what we thought grief would look like — and how different it actually turned out to be. From the early days of loss to the long-term reality no one talks about, we share the raw, unfiltered truth of navigating widowhood and healing in ways we never expected.

    The Weight Of Strength : Does Strength Block Healing?

    In this episode, we’re asking a hard but important question: Does being strong prevent you from healing? So many grievers feel the pressure to "hold it together" — for their families, their friends, or just to survive the day. But what if that strength, that emotional armor, is actually blocking the healing we desperately need?

    The Business of Grief

    What happens when personal loss meets profit? In this powerful, unfiltered conversation, two widows sit down to unpack a side of grief that’s rarely talked about — the business behind it. From the moment a loved one dies, families are thrust into a world of decisions — many of them expensive, confusing, and emotionally overwhelming. Funeral homes, cremation services, casket options, floral arrangements, memorial websites, online grief courses, and more — all presented as necessary steps in “honoring” the dead. But behind the scenes lies a multi-billion dollar industry built on our most vulnerable moments.

    Motherhood through widowhood

    What does it mean to mother through grief? In this raw and real episode, we dive into the complexities of parenting after losing a partner. As two young widows, we open up about the emotional load, the guilt, the strength we didn’t know we had, and the moments that break us. From answering impossible questions to showing up when we’re barely holding on, this is the side of motherhood no one prepares you for. Whether you're a widow, a solo parent, or someone trying to understand — this conversation is for you.

  6. The Shelf Life of Grief: Is There One?

    The Shelf Life of Grief: Is There One?

    We’re getting honest about something many of us feel but don’t always say out loud: Is there a time limit on grief? As two young widows, we’ve heard it all — the well-meaning advice, the awkward silences, and the subtle (or not-so-subtle) pressure to “move on.” But grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and healing isn’t linear. We’re opening up about our personal experiences, the expectations we’ve faced, the discomfort others have with long-term grief and how we continue to live, love, and grow through loss. This conversation is for anyone navigating grief — or trying to understand it better. You’re not alone, and your grief is valid… no matter how long it’s been.

  7. The Grief Olympics

    The Grief Olympics

    In this episode, we unpack The Grief Olympics — the unspoken competition where people compare and rank each other’s grief. We explore the idea of a “grief hierarchy,” and how society often places value on who’s allowed to grieve more, or grieve “right.” We also dive into the concept of the “good widow” vs the “bad widow” — the pressure to look a certain way, behave a certain way, or even grieve on a timeline that makes others comfortable. This conversation is raw, real, and necessary for anyone who’s ever felt judged, silenced, or misunderstood in their loss.

  8. Grieving the living

    07/12/2025

    Grieving the living

    What happens when the person you're grieving isn't gone — at least not entirely? In this episode, we explore ambiguous grief: the kind of mourning that comes without death, closure, or clear recognition. Whether it's a loved one lost to dementia, addiction, estrangement, or emotional disconnection, ambiguous grief carries the weight of sorrow in silence. We talk about why this form of grief is so hard to name, how it’s often misunderstood or dismissed, and what healing can look like when there’s no clear ending. If you’ve ever felt the ache of missing someone who’s still alive, this episode is for you.
