Laura Madaio is the founder and creator of “Grief Hungry” a curated space for grief suffers to share stories and recipes from their loved ones. Two years ago Laura lost her dad very suddenly and tragically. She learned first hand that grief is a non linear and complicated experience. It is all encompassing. It causes physical ailments as well as psychological ones. She learned which friends kept showing up to support her during this insufferable time. It opened her eyes to what society’s expectations are around grief and when you should be “done grieving”. (This is in quotes because you are never really done grieving) Also what is up with people getting so uncomfortable talking about death? It is no surprise there is such little empathy around loss and grief because we’re all too scared to talk about it. Laura talks about the changes that need to be made, how we can all be better grievers, and better support systems to those who are living with grief.
