  • 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.

  • Perfection

    I love this podcast. To have a collection of such amazing shares brings HOPE to a world where we can feel so alone. I really appreciate Andersons vulnerability, it makes the podcast authentic and humanizes a man many like myself have admired for years as a news Icon. Thank you Anderson for meeting us where we are in our grief and reminding us there is no right or wrong way to grieve. What a wonderful way to hold space for those remembering their loved ones!

  • A healthy cry

    I love to talk about my parents. Losing them less than a year apart was so hard, and yet so normal and I think it helps others to know grief is normal. My mother took me to pay shiva calls as a child, I think it helped me learn to share grief in a communal way.

  • Finding a comforting home

    Dear Anderson— I am a psychoanalyst and a teacher and a widow of two years. I have spent my career helping people speak to each other about the matters closest to their hearts and hardest to say. Death weighs in heavily on the scales of difficulty. My husband and precious partner of nearly fifty years died two years ago. Since the fog of the first year of disorganizing confusion and fear lifted, I was shocked to discover that the second year left me feeling eviscerated by grief, lonelin... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Isaiah Thomas: The Loneliness of Grief
Q: What message would you give to listeners who are grieving now?
Stay connected with others, allow yourself to be emotional, seek support, and understand that moving forward does not mean forgetting those you've lost; you can carry them with you in everyday life.
Isaiah Thomas: The Loneliness of Grief
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.
Sarah Wildman: Let Grief Be Messy
Q: What would you tell someone who is newly navigating the loss of a child about dealing with the messiness of grief?
Let grief be messy and don't worry about making others comfortable with your process. Grief will evolve, and it's important to allow yourself to feel and express it, while also finding small, sustaining moments of beauty and connection that honor the loved one's life.
Sarah Wildman: Let Grief Be Messy
Q: How has the experience of caregiving and grief changed your view on memory and recording moments?
I wish we had recorded more of those moments, especially the late summers when she felt relatively well. Keeping recordings and writing down conversations feels essential because it preserves her voice and presence, offering a way to revisit her energy and wisdom long after she's gone.
Sarah Wildman: Let Grief Be Messy
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about Orli and what made her so remarkable?
Orli was an extraordinary child who loved life—she was on a basketball team, loved to surf, and found joy in books like Harry Potter. Her resilience and curiosity persisted even through intense illness, and she frequently sought connection, understanding, and even humor in the face of fear. Her spirit shaped her family's approach to grief, memory, and legacy.
