It’s a fact: death is inevitable, and so is grief. It can stop us in our tracks, regardless of the amount of time that's passed. Good Grief is a six-part, sixty-minute binge of true, short stories that immerse us in the grieving process, find healthy (and avoid unhealthy) ways to cope, and even share a few laughs. Comfort, community, and catharsis guide this audio portrait of love and loss.

  • Host Needs To Check Her Privilege

    On the most recent Last Day episode, the host of this show joked about wishing she was in prison so she could read all of the time, then laughed about it. How incredibly insensitive to those who are currently incarcerated (many black men) for crimes they didn’t commit and for low level marijuana possession. Check yourself, Claire. I hope your clients are ok with you as their therapist. Yikes.

  • A comfort for those grieving

    I lost my daughter to stillbirth this past 2020. These stories are harrowing, tragic, and beautiful. I’m finding comfort in the stories of grief from others. Thank you for this.
