It’s been two years since I last talked with Dr. Karen Wyatt for End of Life University. A lot has changed and it was lovely to reconnect, discuss what’s new with the Speaking Grief initiative, and share a bit about my own season of loss. Listen here.
Grief is an isolating experience for anyone, but it can be particularly challenging for young adults, many of whom are the first people in their peer group to experience a loss. This population is falls in the “in-between” of most grief support services; they are too old for most children’s grief organizations yet may struggle with a sense of belonging in other grief support spaces. In this Speaking Grief webinar, experts discussed the unique needs of this population and share strategies for how to engage and support them as they grieve. Watch the discussion here.
Ooof, this was a hard one. Things got real. Grateful to Grief is My Side Hustle-Meghan Riordan Jarvis for holding space and giving me the opportunity to talk about the continuing impact of WPSU Grief as well as my own experience losing little Birch and the grief that comes with saying goodbye to a fur-baby. Listen to the interview here.

Grief shows up everywhere, especially in service professions.
My colleague Kristib Bittner and I had a great conversation with Hair Stylist and Industry Educator Hunter Donia about how hair stylists can be more grief-aware and grief-responsive with their clients.
This conversation was part of WPSU’s on-going multiplatform public media initiative Speaking Grief, which is made possible thanks to philanthropic support from the New York Life Foundation.
