On this week's show, we get to sit down with one of our favorite people in the whole wide world, Mary O’Malley. Mary is a wildly accomplished ceramicist and teacher, and also luckily for Zahra, a true blue best friend. Mary joins us to talk about the realities of grandparent grief. After losing both of her beloved grandparents within a few months of each other in 2018, Mary has experienced deep grief surrounding their passing, and we discuss the specificities of the grandparent/ grandchild bond and the stigma around grieving their loss. We loved where this conversation went, and are so grateful to Mary for her time and generosity of spirit.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Mary O’Malley- "String Beans"

This unique podcast explores the intersection of food and grief. Mother-daughter cohosts Bobbie Comforto and Zahra Tangorra are joined by a special guest who shares their personal experience with loss, grief, and heartbreak, and how food factored into their journey. Bobbie has worked as a psychotherapist specializing in bereavement and trauma for over 30 years, but before entering the world of grief counseling Bobbie was a culinary entrepreneur. Zahra Tangorra is a Brooklyn-based chef and restaurant consultant. They share a deep love of food and a personal understanding of its connection to grief.

Change and loss are inevitable in all our lives. The relationships that we as humans have surrounding food and loss are universal and relatable across different cultures, beliefs, and lifestyles. It is our individual adaptation to the things we cannot control that makes us unique. Processing exposes and digests these commonalities and differences in each episode.
