  • Amazing podcast!!

    I’ve listened to about 3-4 episodes so far and each was was amazing. So much sensitivity and thoughtfulness by each guest and by the host Anderson.šŸŽ§šŸ¤šŸŒŸšŸ† I lost my father at age 23 (lung cancer) and it was a deep painful but spiritual experience and I was so young that I didn’t even realize what a feat it was to face this at such a young age. Then I lost my mom 28 yrs later after her very lengthy illness. It was a more complicated grief because it was a complex relationship with a lot of disap... more

    My mother just passed away and I was looking for a podcast that could help me navigate her passing with other people’s stories of loss. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of people interviewed for the show and delighted with their stories that resonated with me and my current situation. This podcast has helped me grieve and heal during a tough time in my life. For all the people involved in this podcast, thank you for sharing your vulnerable and raw stories of perseverance and courage.

  • Anderson is a role model

    Anderson’s show is outstanding giving a voice to emotions most of us are taught to hide and suffer alone with. I love how he shares his emotions unabashedly, opening a dialogue men and women have been thirsty for. He is truly unique to comprehend the transformation discussing grief publicly can have. Beautiful show.

  • Please get Martin Short on your show

    Anderson: thank you all the candid and raw conversations about grieving. Sometimes the stories and emotions are hard to listen to, but somehow one feels more lightened and enlightened after each episode.

    I just finished watching the Netflix documentary on Martin Short. I think he would have so much insight on grief. Like you, he is also a gifted story teller. Please consider inviting him onto your show.

    Thank you and best wishes to you on your journey.

Q: How does it feel to describe grief as a maze, and what does that look like in everyday life?

Q: What message would you give to listeners who are grieving now?

Q: What helped you cope with grief over time?
Lean on others, seek counseling, talk openly, and allow yourself to feel, not just push forward; sharing stories publicly also provided a sense of purpose and connection for him and perhaps others going through similar pain.
