Medium: Digital Care Kit for Grieving

Medium: Digital Care Kit for Grieving

I’ve spent the past several years creating Speaking Grief, a learning resource that works to create a more grief-aware society. As part of the making of this project, I’ve read dozens of books, listened to many hours of podcasts, watched loads of videos, interviewed dozens of grieving people from across the country, and talked with some of the leading professionals in this field. Because of this, I’ve ended up with a sort of mental rolodex of resources related to grief. In an effort to, hopefully, spare you some of the mental burden of searching for this stuff, I consolidated some of my favorite content and shared it in this Medium piece.

Medium: Supporting Grief: When Less is More

“But if you’ve ever grieved or sat with a grieving person, you know that words can be inadequate at best and hurtful at worst. I firmly believe that my not saying much (albeit out adherence to the rules, although he was not aware of this) freed this man to speak his truth.”

For more on how to show up in a meaningful way for a grieving person, check out this article about what I’ve learned from working on Speaking Grief.

News Over Noise Ep. 1: News Avoidance and Why It Matters

I’m excited to share the first episode of the first podcast I’ve produced:

Introducing: News Over Noise

If you find yourself avoiding the news, you’re not alone. But what’s turning you off is likely not the news itself—it’s the noise surrounding it. News over Noise explores the challenge of separating spin and click-bait from good journalism and why it matters. This podcast empowers our citizenry by giving listeners the tools they need to balance staying informed while protecting their well-being and the public good.
