  • Making Grief Feel a Little Less Lonely

    Meghan creates such a thoughtful and compassionate space for conversations that so many of us struggle to have. I appreciate the mix of personal stories and professional perspectives, and the honesty with which grief and loss are explored. These conversations feel deeply human, validating, and genuinely supportive.

  • The role of the host

    Meghan, I was so happy to find your podcast, and so dearly wanted to learn—personally and professionally—from your experiences and insights.. But I have listened to 3 episodes with growing frustration. You invite outstanding guests, then talk over them, continuously interrupting their story with your own.

You are the host; please don’t make it so muc... more

ep. 191: David Ferrugio--A Grieving Son and the 25th Anniversary of 9/11
Q: Can you talk a little bit about how you decided to watch the footage, what that was like for you, and how other people felt about it?
Ferrugio says he instinctively wanted to cry and sought footage to understand what his father experienced and to help move his emotions. He watched alone, sometimes hiding it, and says it helped him while recognizing that it may not work the same way for others.
ep. 191: David Ferrugio--A Grieving Son and the 25th Anniversary of 9/11
Q: What brings you into the world of grief?

pg. 190: Danielle Crittenden--A Grieving Mother Writes Through Grief
Q: Was the writing process part of coming into a place of healing, and did you know ahead of time that you were writing for an audience?

pg. 190: Danielle Crittenden--A Grieving Mother Writes Through Grief
Q: What brings you into the world of grief and loss?
