Why the Grief Series Podcast? Why talk about grief? 



Why the Grief Series Podcast? Why talk about grief? As early as March a lot of people lost someone they held dear to them, it wasn’t until October that I too was personally and permanently affected by a death. My life changed the day I found out my dad died. Like everything else I do, I decided I wanted to find out more and share my perspective and to hear from others. That’s how the grief series started, with one podcast episode as the goal, but as I spoke with people to find that one person to interview I quickly came to understand that GRIEF was very deep.
