Jayme Aills from the Grief Unfiltered podcast is here and there’s no filter on this conversation! Jayme lost her mom to breast cancer five years ago and, like me, is experiencing a new version of grief this year as she welcomed her daughter Breck to the world.

Nicole Anzia and Katherine DiGiovanni of NeatNik, an organizing firm out of Washington, D.C., know first-hand how hectic life can be after the loss of a loved one. So many decisions, so many people to communicate with, and so… much… stuff!

Jess Hersh joins us again to talk about the grief of the week. We start with quick notes on Snoop Dogg’s announcement that his mother Beverly Tate passed away, and what his vulnerability means for fellow male grievers. Then, because we love all things Kardashian.

This episode of So Sorry For Your Loss welcomes Jamie-Lee Josselyn, a creative writing instructor at the University of Pennsylvania. Because of her expertise in writing and, unfortunately, her experience with grief, I hoped she could share helpful guidance to translating your feelings into the written word.

I met Jessica Hersh when we were 9 years old at Camp Kweebec in Schwenksville, Pa. We reconnected under unfortunate circumstances– when we were 27 years old at a grief support group after each losing a parent. Ironically, I clearly remember her mom, and she remembers my dad.
