Emotional Duct Tape

Today, we chat with fellow griever and grief educator, Emily Bingham. She tells us about the grief associated with the passing of her husband and the trajectory that took on her life. She shares tons of resources, and we talk about movement and allowing ourselves to feel. We also get some perspective from her on what it is like to date after going through a spouse's death. We hope you learn something new!

Today, we talk with artist Ali Waller. Her grief story is one that involves sexual assault and how her own experiences and that of others inspired "/200." In each exhibition, she invites other survivors to make casts of their chests and creates a space to acknowledge their shared pain but also their strength. She talks about the ups and downs her grief has brought, the experience she shares with her subjects, and the impact of her project. Trigger warning: This week's episode does cover sexual violence. Listener discretion advised.

Today is an EDT first and we're sure its going to hit close to home. We are talking with our friend Liv about the grief associated with losing a pet. She talks about her experience fostering (and sometimes losing) kittens she has cared for. She talks about compassion fatigue, the joy and sadness that comes with fostering animals and all that she has learned along the way. We are definitely putting a trigger warning on this episode for those who have experienced pet loss.

We are so excited to have this one be our first episode of 2022. We chat with Derek, a chaplain who was worked in both prison and hospital systems. We learn about what a chaplain is and how his role helps people process grief. He also tells us about the shared human experience of grief and how he works to not take the weight of his role with him in life.
