Apple Podcasts5c-crashUnited Statesa year ago - This is beautiful
I’m late to the show, but I’m a few episodes in and this is beautiful. The details, the stories, the score, the way she speaks of her love with so much elegance. I am amazed, impressed, and inspired.
Apple Podcasts5JyQu3United Statesa year ago - Such an amazing love story
This is perhaps one of the most amazing love stories. An honest expression of loss and grief. Aptly titled great grief because their love was so great. I have never loved or been loved like the Freelons. Nnenna weaves her story in prose, poetry and sweet jazz vocals. One of the best podcasts and lessons on love, life and loss I have come across. Sweet love expressed so beautifully.

I lost my husband July 19, 2016 to pancreatic cancer - a quick and relentless journey of 74 days. Trying to figure out how to live without him and no longer being a wife was is hard after 34 years of marriage. This podcasts is so real and speaks to those places in my heart where ‘we’ are no longer ‘we’! Thank you for sharing your heart and continuous journey.
