Coffee, Grief and Gratitude: Welcome
Episode One: Welcome to Grief and Gratitude, a podcast by Coffee and Grief. Here Anne and Maria, a daughter/mom team, explore grief in its many forms. Grief is so much more than the death of a beloved. They started the podcast to learn more about grief, to be part of the conversation in normalizing grief. They’re not looking for answers, but they’re curious about the questions, the exploration, the conversation.
Anne and Maria have interviewed a range of writers who write and talk about grief. They’ve talk with Melissa Gould, Armen Bacon, Lisa Keefauver, Meghan Riordan Jarvis, Carol Smith, Mary Mandeville, Leigh Hopkins, Carmel Breathnach, Jen Violi, Kate Carroll de Gutes, Tesha McCord Poe, Miriam Gershow, Jennifer Lang, Ann Batchelder, Ella deCastro Baron, Gayle Brandeis, Laraine Herring, Mary Klinger, Nikki Darling, Joëlle Croteau-Willard, Tanya Friedman, Marialicia Gonzalez, Meg Weber, Asha Rajan, Monica Welty, Anne Richardson, Peter Quinn, Kelly Thompson, and more.
The range of grief is deep and wide. This mom/daughter duo cover topics from the more conventional griefs like death of a beloved, to griefs that don’t get talked about, like gender identity, land grief, health, pregnancy and infant loss. Disenfranchised grief has room here. All griefs have room here.
