Good Grief Believer

In this tender and deeply personal episode of Good Grief Believer, host Julie Craig sits down with her daughter-in-law, Daria Brekke Craig, to talk about the profound experience of losing a parent, grieving across continents, and holding onto faith after unexpected loss.

Born in Russia and raised in Norway, Daria shares the story of her beloved father, Alexander, a funny, devoted, imperfect, and deeply loving man whose sudden death changed her life forever. When her father died unexpectedly at just 47 years old, Daria faced an impossible journey: traveling to Russia during the early weeks of the Ukraine war, while pregnant, during a time of international uncertainty and restricted travel.
