I like this it’s done very well
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.
So deeply profound and wise effort of honoring Phil, their union, family and life that still goes on...with Miss Grief at the Wheel of Emotion!! Carry on, #muthasista!! 🌹💝💜
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.
