About this listen

How we process and respond to traumatic experiences matters more than the experiences themselves. Openly discussing loss, maintaining connections to loved ones who have passed, and allowing ourselves to feel and express grief fully can lead to far better outcomes.


Sanderson Jones is a former standup comedian and the co-founder of Sunday Assembly, a worldwide movement of non-religious congregations that celebrate life. Following the sudden and untimely death of his wife and the mother of his children, Sanderson rediscovered a new purpose, and has become a funeral celebrant and “funeral designer”.
