"She didn't die, but I lost her anyway"

In the very first episode of The Unburied Collective, Navie shares the origin of her grief; the kind that doesn't come with funerals or closure. This is the beginning of a deeply personal journey through adoption trauma, emotional estrangement, and what it means to mourn someone who's still alive.

This episode sets the tone for the collective: honest, tender, unfiltered. If you've ever grieved who kept breathing, loved someone who couldn't love you back, or carried the weight of an untold story. This space is yours too.

Topics in this episode:

- Grieving a living mother

- Adoption Trauma + Identity

- Why this podcast had to be made

You are not alone here. This is the unburying.
