What's the grief milestone nobody prepares you for? Not the funeral. Not the first year. The weird specific one nobody talks about.
I asked that question recently and over nine hundred people answered. Their responses told me everything I needed to know about why this show exists.
In this first episode I'm introducing The Carried Forward Podcast — what it is, who it's for, and why I built it. I'm Robert DelFave, grief coach, David Kessler Certified Grief Educator, and someone who lost both parents before the age of thirty. For twenty years I carried that grief alone. This show is what I wish had existed back then.
Every episode of The Carried Forward Podcast asks one question: what does carrying grief forward actually look like? I'll be sitting down with grief professionals, researchers, therapists, authors, and people with profound lived experience to find out.
Grief doesn't end. It transforms. And the goal isn't to get over it — it's to carry it forward.
In this episode:
- Why nine hundred strangers on the internet changed how I think about grief
- The four month drop-off nobody talks about
- What the Carried Forward Framework is and why I built it
