Where's The Grief?

In this episode, Jordon sits down with comedian Kevin Bartini. Kevin's brother Andrew was killed in a car accident 16 years ago, only a few years into his battle with multiple sclerosis. Having been dealing with his grief for this long, Kevin has found a very positive perspective about life, and about death.

In addition to being the warmup comic for The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, Kevin is an accomplished actor. Find out more about what he's doing at http://KevinBartini.com

In this episode of Where's the Grief, Jordon sits down with fellow comedian Dan Soder to talk about the longevity of grief. Dan's father passed away when Dan was still in high school, and then his sister just two years later.

Although this discussion is a little heavy for a podcast that features comedians, it's a deeper look into the psyche of those that have experienced tragic loss.

This week Jordon sits down with fellow comedian and actor, John Mooney who recently lost both his parents, essentially becoming an orphan at the same time as he is learning how to be a good father himself.

Even though we expect to outlive our parents, it is still difficult to navigate the world without them. This discussion, while somewhat heavy, is an interesting look at the issues that can come up when life gets turned upside down.

In this Episode, Jordon sits down with his friend and fellow comedian, Matt Lipton. Matt's brother died a little over a year before this episode was recorded. We discuss the problems that come with having a complicated sibling relationship, and the crazy thoughts that can cause shame or guilt in the aftermath of their death.
