This podcast handles grief and how people deal and handle it so beautifully. They have amazing guests who share stories of heartbreak and how they are working through it. As someone who is dealing with the recent death of a parent, it’s therapeutic for me to listen and know eventually I might be ok.

Yes I sobbed, but in a good way. I've recommended this to several people, it's such an insightful podcast on a topic that isn't discussed enough.

Apple Podcasts5marymsullivanUnited States5 years ago - A lovely, insightful, healing listen
This is such a tricky subject matter to tackle but it’s done so well and with such openness and understanding in this podcast. Some of the episodes have been really emotional - I have teared up while listening more than once! - but they also make you very grateful for the loved ones you still have
Apple Podcasts5bpiugnIreland5 years ago - Thank you for this!
I'm lucky enough to have not lost anyone really close to me but people close to me have. This podcast has so far helped me to understand what it is they are going through and how best to be there for them. These people's stories are truly incredible, inspiring, difficult and honest. I am beginning to understand grief and how it can affect people in so many different ways. We will all be faced with loss and grief so, this is so important and done so beautifully. E
