  • Planet grief fellow alien here.

    First time listening to this podcast today and the episode I feel like an alien literally is me in a nutshell from the very first sentence. Ever since losing my dad in 2021 I have said I feel like I woke up in an alternate universe where everyone speaks a different language. It has not gotten better just a little less difficult to navigate. I appreciate what you are doing grief is so taboo and not talked about nearly enough even though it’s the only thing we can 100% count on happening in life
