  • 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

  • Simply the best

    Although I have yet to listen to every episode, I can say that each episode of filled with new insights as well I am often finding connections to my own grief story or how to better support those who are grieving. There is no expert in grief, but if there was one, Jana would be one. She sure knows how to asks the right questions at the right time.

    Highly recommend this podcast for those who are grieving or professionals.
