We See Dead People

How do a mother and three daughters survive the loss of a parent? This podcast offers a raw, real-time look at bereavement and family grief as they grapple with the devastating loss of an aunt and two father figures in rapid succession. This isn't a show with polished answers or "stages of grief" advice; it offers radical honesty. Through candid conversations marked by necessary dark humor, a mother and her pre-teen/teen daughters share the day-to-day realities of compounded and complex grief. They discuss the emotional exhaustion of mourning, the struggle of coping with parent loss, and the reality of keeping life "normal" when your world has ended. Whether you are a suicide loss survivor, a grieving teen, or a family feeling isolated in your pain, this show offers a community where you can find one punchline and one honest tear at a time. WARNING: This podcast contains graphic discussions of sensitive topics such as death, suicide, and self-harm. Listener discretion is advised.
