  • Important

    This is such a beautiful and necessary podcast. Alina and Judith manage to talk about the most impossibly sad topics with both reverence and humor. As an ally to the loss community, I’m so grateful to have this podcast to know how to be a better friend.

  • Wish I found this sooner

    I just listened to first episode. I read from that book at Sterling’s funeral and I read it as a child and to my older children. I love this book and it makes me cry even before loss it hit me in my heart.

    Thank you Alina and Judith for being a source of comfort during my hard days. You make me laugh. You make me cry. There have been so many times I have felt myself nodding along with the things you say about your feelings and your experiences. I feel like I’m sitting alongside you, sharing our grief together. Thank you for all you guys do.

  • Helpful to expand emotional intelligence for everyone

    This podcast is so enlightening and informative. Judith, Alina, Aidan, Quinn and all of the guests that have come into this space of grief all have had an important message and an impact. While I haven’t been touched by infant loss personally, understanding what it’s like to walk through grief has made me a better friend.

  • Like chatting w a friend

    Listening to this podcast is such a unique experience, it’s like chatting with your friend about the inner workings of your own grief filled brain, and they actually understand. Which if you know grief, that is so far from normal. Alina & Judith open up parts of their lives that are so relatable as a loss mom. And so eye opening to those who haven’t experienced loss. I’m so glad (and sad) I’ve found this corner of the internet that has nurtured me through the hardest experience of my life.
