  • Grateful for Grief out Loud

    I just lost my husband 1 month after our honeymoon suddenly & unexpectedly. This podcast is a lifeline to be in my grief. And was able to meet Christina Babich after her traumatic and tragic episode. I finally feel seen and heard understanding there is grief and trauma and so many secondary losses. Thank you for creating this safe space.

  • Grief out loud

    I really like this podcast. I’m a grieving mother and hungry for stories involving grief at losing a child; in my case he was 22 years old. He and his girlfriend died together. One of the 110,000 kids in 2021 that accidentally took something laced with fentanyl. They were college students, athletes and good kids. I will never be the same
