  • Another shoe to drop

    So happy I found this podcast. Lost my brother after a brief cancer fight after my own breast cancer fight and I’m now left taking care of our ailing elderly mom alone. I’ve been living with this feeling for over a year and I’m really trying to gain control of my nervous system. This episode truly resonated.

  • Maybe it’s just not for me.

    Today is the 5th anniversary of my son’s death.This podcast randomly showed up in my feed. I chose an episode about the loss of a child and it started out with a lot of giggling. It felt immature. It wasn’t something a grieving heart could hold. Maybe other episodes are better.

  • Thank you! 🙏

    I am so incredibly thankful for Tara and her podcast. Her willingness to share her heart after the grief and loss of her parents has been such a blessing to me.

    I lost my mom a year ago, and my father passed just six months later. During that time, I was desperately searching for even one person who could truly understand the depth of my grief and pain—and I found Tara.

    I have been listening to her podcast for about a year now, and it has meant so much to me. Tara speaks with such honesty and ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

237. Sara Rian on Losing Her Mother to Suicide, Navigating Anger, and Finding Solace in Poetry
Q: How do you live with hypervigilance and the sense of potential loss when a loved one has long struggled with suicidality?
She explains that hypervigilance became a constant reality but emphasizes not letting fear paralyze life; she learned to balance vigilance with continued living, using therapy, community support, and understanding of her mother's trauma as factors that shape her approach.
237. Sara Rian on Losing Her Mother to Suicide, Navigating Anger, and Finding Solace in Poetry
Q: What were those first weeks and months like after her death, and how did you move through anger?
Sara describes a period of immobilization and trauma, followed by intense anger at the world and at how society and trauma history affected her mother, then gradually moving toward processing through therapy, writing, and gratitude for the goodness in others.
246. Losing Two Children to a Drunk Driver: Restorative Justice & Choosing Compassion with Colin Campbell
Q: What role do rituals play in your grief journey?
Rituals give grief a concrete space to exist, offering agency and a way to honor Ruby and Hart. They can be as simple as lighting candles or laying rocks, and they evolve over time, always adapting to what feels right in the moment.
246. Losing Two Children to a Drunk Driver: Restorative Justice & Choosing Compassion with Colin Campbell
Q: How did writing Find the Words shape your healing and purpose?
Writing became a mechanism to process grief, craft meaning, and connect with the community. The book helped me articulate needs, find words for talking to others, and ultimately led to opportunities to share and teach about grief, turning pain into purpose.
246. Losing Two Children to a Drunk Driver: Restorative Justice & Choosing Compassion with Colin Campbell
Q: What did restorative justice look like for you, and how did it change your perspective?
It started as a way to understand how the offender ended up where she was, learning her backstory and facing the guilt I carried. The process, mediated by trained facilitators, led to a compassionate dialogue and a sense of lighter burden, even as accountability remained important.
