  • Echoes Of Her - Adell Coleman On Grieving Her Mother & Finding Community

    Echoes Of Her - Adell Coleman On Grieving Her Mother & Finding Community
    Jan 26 2026
    In this episode of Grief Out Loud, we talk with Adell Coleman about her mother who was killed when Adell was just 24 years old. Adell reflects on the closeness of their relationship and how her mom's death radically shifted her sense of safety in the world. She shares how the circumstances around her mother's death, including being the person who found her, has made it difficult to remember how her mom lived, without reliving how she died. Adell also talks about what it's been like raising two daughters who never met their grandmother, but somehow carry her presence in surprising and meaningful ways. She reflects on anniversaries 14 years later, the exhaustion of grief, and how becoming the family "grief expert" interrupted her capacity to engage with her own grief. The conversation closes with Adell describing how community, therapy, boundaries, and creative work - including her documentary and podcast, Echoes of Her: To Mom With Love - have helped her find language, connection, and space for her grief. We discuss Losing a mother in young adulthood and feeling "not ready" to be an adult How violent death and trauma impact grief and memory The challenge of accessing good memories when you are dealing with traumatic imagery Parenting while grieving and helping children connect with a grandparent they never met Anniversaries, emotional exhaustion, and grief over time Becoming the family "grief expert" and having to put off personal grief Finding community after loss and why the right support can take time Creating meaning through storytelling, connection, and creative projects Adell's documentary and her new podcast, Echoes of Her: To Mom With Love Connect with Adell Instagram: @iamadellcoleman Podcast: Echoes of Her Threads: @iamadellcoleman Documentary: Echoes of Her: To Mom With Love Substack: On My Momma

  • Why Grief Isn't A Journey (And What It Is Instead) - John Onwuchekwa

    Why Grief Isn't A Journey (And What It Is Instead) - John Onwuchekwa
    Jan 8 2026
    What if grief isn't a journey for us to eventually finish, but more a language we become fluent in? In this first episode of 2026, we talk with writer, storyteller, and social entrepreneur, John Onwuchekwa, whose life was profoundly shaped by the death of his brother Sam in 2015. John shares how Sam's death altered not just his relationships and priorities, but his understanding of grief itself. Rather than framing grief as a journey with an endpoint, John offers a different metaphor: grief as a language that we learn over time, one with past, present, and future tenses. He explores how grief comes through not just in our words, but our bodies, our reflexes, and our relationships, showing up in ways we often don't consciously choose. We discuss: The limitations - and harm - of common grief metaphorsThe shifts in John's priorities and perspective that occurred after Sam died How loneliness often sits at the center of grief The ways grief can show up in our bodies, before our minds understand what's happeningHolding grief and hope at the same time Connect with John Website: https://www.johno.co/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jawn_o/?hl=en We Go On: https://www.andwegoon.com/ Blog: https://www.johno.blog/ Podcast: Four In The Morning https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

  • Time Keeps Moving, But She Doesn't: Mackenzie Galloway-Cole On Grief And New Year's

    Time Keeps Moving, But She Doesn't: Mackenzie Galloway-Cole On Grief And New Year's
    Dec 22 2025

    In the fall of 2023, Mackenzie Galloway-Cole was living out her rom-com-worthy love story with her wife Megan in New York City. Then, on an ordinary night in November, Megan collapsed and died a few hours later from a sudden cardiac event. In the aftermath, Mackenzie had to find her way in this newly shattered world without Megan, her anchor and biggest cheerleader.

    Mackenzie reflects on the shock of becoming a young widow, the added layers of grief that come with queer partner loss, and the painful realities of navigating death care systems that often default to heteronormative assumptions.

    Together, Jana and Mackenzie talk about the isolating nature of sudden and unexplained death, the importance of finding people who "get it," and the ways time itself becomes a particularly painful aspect of grief. Mackenzie also shares why New Year's can feel like a uniquely brutal grief milestone, how absence accumulates as life continues, and how Megan's love still shapes the way she takes care of herself today.

    This conversation holds space for heartbreak, dark humor, love stories, and the not-so-quiet ways grief rewires daily life - especially when the person you most want to turn to is the one who died.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • The story of how Megan and Mackenzie met and fell in love
    • Sudden death and the trauma of an ordinary day turning catastrophic
    • The intersection of being a young, gay widow
    • Navigating hospitals, funeral homes, and death administration as a queer spouse
    • Why the small, everyday moments can hurt more than the big ones
    • How the second Christmas can feel even harder than the first
    • New Year's as a "sneaky" grief holiday
    • How the choices you make in life can reflect and honor your person who died

    Mackenzie Galloway-Cole writes about grief at Good Gay Grief on Substack and can also be found on Instagram at @deadwifeclub
