I am a big fan of the Grief Out Loud podcast; it has been a helpful resource for the WPSU team as we sought to better understand the grief experience. So, it was exciting to have the opportunity to be by interviewed by Jana DeCristofaro about Speaking Grief. We talked the project’s inspiration and how months spent interviewing grieving people from across the country has influenced the way I experience my own grief and how I show up for the people in my life.

More about Grief out Loud:

Remember the last time you tried to talk about grief and suddenly everyone left the room? Grief Out Loud is opening up this often avoided conversation because grief is hard enough without having to go through it alone. We bring you a mix of personal stories, tips for supporting children, teens, and yourself, and interviews with bereavement professionals. Platitude and cliché-free, we promise! Grief Out Loud is hosted by Jana DeCristofaro and produced by The Dougy Center for Grieving Children & Families in Portland, Oregon.
