GRIEF AND LIGHT

This space was created for you by someone who gets it – your grief, your foundation-shattering reality, and the question of what the heck do we do with the shattered pieces of life and loss around us.

It’s also for the listener who wants to better understand their grieving person, and perhaps wants to learn how to help.

Now in its fourth season, the Grief and Light podcast features both solo episodes and interviews with first-hand experiencers, authors, and professionals, who shine a light on the spectrum of experiences, feelings, secondary losses, and takeaways.

As a bereaved sister, I share my personal story of the sudden loss of my younger brother, only sibling, one day after we celebrated his 32nd birthday. I also delve into how that loss, trauma, and grief catapulted me into a truth-seeking journey, which ultimately led me to answer "the calling" of creating this space I now call Grief and Light.

Since launching the first episode on March 30, 2023, the Grief and Light podcast and social platforms have evolved into a powerful resource for grief-informed support, including one-on-one grief guidance, monthly grief circles, community, and much more.

With each episode, you can expect open and authentic conversations sharing our truth, and explorations of how to transmute the grief experience into meaning, and even joy.

My hope is to make you feel less alone, and to be a beacon of light and source of information for anyone embarking on this journey.

Thank you for being here.

We're in this together.

Ben Forman

Ben Forman grew up in a family of characters. Loud voices, deep laughs, and animated faces are how he remembers childhood. Growing up, the best thing you could do in his family was hold a room of people with a great story; this stuck with him. After attending Union College in New York, he began a career as a filmmaker in Los Angeles.

Now, for almost a decade, Forman has worked in entertainment as a director, writer, and producer. Beginning in branded content, he produced for companies like United Health Ventures and Nickelodeon before working in commercials and eventually television. During those years, Forman led development at the production company JOY Factory and built meaningful relationships with streaming services like Amazon, Hulu, and Netflix while selling projects to AXS TV and HGTV.

Then, in 2022, tragedy struck and he left Los Angeles for Boston to create this very personal film of love and loss.
