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 broad 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.

Father's Day Episode | A conversation with my father about befriending grief after losing a son
Father’s Day is around the corner, and if you know a father who has lost their son or daughter, or if you’ve lost your father, then you know it’s simply not the same.
Like many holidays, Father’s Day highlights the absence of our loved one no longer with us, and while many try to make it a joyful experience, fathers are often left to mask their feelings and suffer in silence.
Many men have been taught not to cry or feel their feelings. So they often end up repressing their human emotions, which leads to unnecessary pain and suffering for them, and those around them.
Grief needs an outlet, or it will consume us, whether we realize it or not.
That said, I’ve recently noticed a change where grieving men are starting to open about their grief experience around loss, particularly the loss of their child.
This perspective is so needed, because everyone grieves differently, and often men grieve in silence, which can result in pain and confusion for their spouse, children, and family.
It can seem like they don’t care, when in fact, they’re suffering in silence.
Part of my mission with this podcast is to bring these much-needed conversations to the surface – out in the open – so they can be explored without judgment.
So this Father’s Day, I decided to gift my dad the space to share his truth.
And my sincere hope is that in listening, you can feel a little less alone in your grief journey.
Wishing you a gentle Father's Day.
