In this deeply reflective episode of Prosaic Justice, we sit down with Sharon Grisham Stewart, former Hinds County Coroner, whose decades of service have placed her in some of the most difficult yet sacred spaces of human experience. With compassion and courage, Sharon has stood where loss and justice meet — listening to the silent stories of those who can no longer speak for themselves.

Together, we explore the weight and the purpose behind her work: what it means to be called to see the unseen, to speak for the voiceless, and to carry both truth and tenderness into every investigation. Sharon shares the emotional and spiritual layers of her journey, revealing how faith, duty, and heart intersect in the life of a coroner.

This conversation is a testament to calling — to the quiet, holy work of restoring dignity to the dead and hope to the living.
