Hi friends! Todayâs episode is quite different. Rather than an interview, this is me giving you a real-time update of my grief journey right after hearing some very important news about the man responsible for my friend Laurenâs death. This is sort of a Part 2 to episode 68 (My friendâs death is part of a True Crime. Can I talk about it?), though you donât have to listen to that one for this one to make sense. I go into the crime in a bit more detail in this episode, so it could be triggering or upsetting.
TRIGGER WARNING: sexual assault and rape.
Today I talk about:
Gratuitous versus conscientious true crime The pursuit of justice The complexity of grief intertwined with rage Forgiveness is a personal journey Finding hope in justice What happens after justice? Where do I put my grief?Resources:

Today I chat with Rebecca Feinglos, grief expert and founderof Grieve Leave. Rebecca is a certified grief support specialist, startup founder, and former state and local policy advisor. Rebecca founded Grieve Leave in 2021 as a way to document her experience on a year-long grief sabbatical, and process her own grief and lossâ she lost her mother in her teens, her father suddenly in 2020, and her marriage in a drawn-out divorce. Grieve Leave has grown into a global community of 30,000 with online reach well into the millions that provides tangible takeaways, resources, and a healthy dose of humor, creating an entire movement around taking intentional time to grieve.
Rebecca and I chat about:
How friend-loss is a disenfranchised grief, andhow that affects our grieving process Rebeccaâs dear friend Courtney, who died 3 weeksbefore recording this episode â the complexity of the grief, Courtneyâs celebration of life, and more The state of bereavement leave in workplaces (spoiler alert: itâs not great), and how it could be better If youâre unsure whether or not you should attend the funeral â attend the funeral! Grief is not logical The limit to grief (and love) do not exist! How grief can coexist with joy And more!Resources:

Todayâs episode is all about friendships. I talk to my guest Sydney about the book âText Me When You Get Home: The Evolution and Triumph of Modern Female Friendshipâ by Kayleen Schaefer. This book includes history, sociological perspectives, research, and more, about how female friendships have evolved and changed over the years. (Surprise surprise, the Patriarchy has impacted how female friendships have been treated throughout history. So, yeah -- some of the history might make you madâŠ)
Sydney and I chat about:
How friendships have been valued differently over the years The âtend and befriendâ response to stress How thereâs so much focus on one friend or partner being your âeverythingâ How friendships are portrayed in the media How throughout history, classical philosophers and religious leaders told women to not befriend or trust other women (ugh!!) And more!Resources:

Today itâs just me, thinking out loud about something Iâve been grappling with for a while: if my friend died in a situation that is now a True Crime, can I talk about it?
I speak about this struggle, and also what I learned in Lilly Dancyger's essay collection "First Love" about how to engage in conscientious, rather than gratuitous, True-Crime.

How do you process your grief when an ex-friend has passed away?
Today I talk to Alex Kuisis about the complicated and messy grief that can come after an ex-friendâs death â in her case, the death of a friend who had majorly betrayed herâfalsely accusing her of 7 felonies she did not commit (which she details in her memoir Truth Matters, Love Wins).
Alex describes the complex tangle of feelings that came with this kind of loss, and how she chooses to focus on the happy memories, rather than the bad. We also talk about signs from loved ones who have passed, deciding how we want to remember someone, assigning meaning in our life, and more.
I want to mention too, that grieving a former friend/ex friend/distanced friend, whatever you want to call itâcan look a million different ways. Alexâs experience might be very different from yoursâand both are valid. We all grieve in different colors and shades. Itâs the beauty of the universality and also the complexity of the human experience.
If you havenât already, listen to my other episode with Alex (Episode 5: My Best Friend Katie). You can learn more about Alex at www.goaskalex.org

If you're looking for a film about friendship and grief, look no further! Dan Levy's 2023 film Good Grief is about a man mourning the loss of his husband as his two best friends help him on his journey of grief.
(SPOILER alert: I don't give away juicy details but I do discuss the main character's emotional arc related plot points -- if you don't like to know anything before a film then just be aware!)
I also talk about how the movie acknowledges the nuances and complexity of grief, the realities of supporting a grieving person, some of my favorite quotes, and more!
Do I recommend the film? Yes! Maybe just grab some tissues first.
