One of the first public events after losing someone is usually a funeral or celebration of life ceremony. In this episode, we dive into this ritual - which feels like an impossible task of honoring loved ones while you’re still falling apart. We share stories about the planning process, grappling with the rollercoaster of emotions, and finding personal meaning inside traditional spaces. We explore the complexity of holding space to grieve, remember, and honor with community by accepting support and grace to feel all the feelings. A conversation for anyone overwhelmed by all the different ways to honor the loss of a loved one - and maybe not knowing where to start.

The first year after losing a parent is intense, disorienting, and deeply heartbreaking. In this episode, we talk about what no one prepares you for—the logistics of grief like choosing an urn and tracking down documents, the challenge of telling people and owning your decisions, and navigating disagreements when others don’t understand.

We explore shifting relationships, learning to trust yourself, the heaviness of anniversaries and holidays, the isolation that can set in, and the importance of community support. A conversation for anyone surviving that first year while the world keeps moving forward.

Welcome to the Grief Girlies, where we talk about our dead parents (love them), losing parents too early, and navigating grief in a culture that pretends we’re immortal.
