This is a podcast created by therapist and grief educator Laura Walton. Laura has lived through the kind of losses that blow your life apart. And when no one was saying the things she needed to hear — the raw, real, and unfiltered truth of living with grief — she started saying them herself.
This is a space for the reality we’re not usually taught how to hold: the ache of missing someone, the beauty that still insists on showing up, and the strange magic of staying alive inside a broken-open heart. These conversations don’t try to fix grief. They invite it in.
Here, we explore what it means to live with grief instead of around it. We learn how to carry grief with care, reverence, and maybe even a little curiosity.
Join us, as we do this grief thing on purpose.
