  • Grieving A Sudden Or Unexpected Death With Dr. Jennifer Levin
    Oct 15 2025
    When someone you know dies suddenly, everything changes in an instant. The world you once knew can feel unfamiliar and unsafe, and finding your way back to even the smallest sense of stability can feel impossible. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Jennifer Levin, therapist, educator, podcast host, and author of The Traumatic Loss Workbook: Powerful Skills for Navigating the Grief Caused by a Sudden or Unexpected Death. Jennifer specializes in supporting people grieving sudden or unexpected deaths that can completely upend how we see the world and shift our sense of safety. We discuss: The differences and overlap between the terms: sudden, unexpected, and traumatic How grief affects the body, mind, and nervous system What it means when the “assumptive world” - our sense of how life should work - is shattered Ways to support yourself when sensory memories of the death are overwhelming How schools and workplaces can better prepare and respond when a community member dies About the Guest: Dr. Jennifer Levin is a grief therapist, educator, and host of the Untethered podcast. She’s the founder of Traumatic Grief Solutions and the creator of The Traumatic Loss Online Companion Course. Her new book, The Traumatic Loss Workbook, is available now from New Harbinger Publications.

  • Grief Is Forever, But So Is Love: Tiriq Rashad On Loss & Creativity
    Oct 6 2025
    When Tiriq Rashad, artist, poet, and performer, sits down to write, he’s not just telling his own story - he’s carrying his daughter, his brother, and his mother with him. In this conversation, Tiriq shares the layered ways grief has shaped who he is: from the death of his first child before she was born, to growing up caring for his brother who lived with cerebral palsy and autism, to the sudden death of his mother. Through it all, Tiriq’s foundation in caregiving, service, and community continues to guide him - both in his personal life and in his art. His new album, Kiss My Art, is woven through with grief, including themes of regret, forgiveness, and deep unwavering love. Each track on Kiss My Art reminds listeners that grief doesn’t end, it evolves and we evolve with it. We talk about: How the death of his daughter shapes his life perspective – and his parenting. How caregiving for his brother as a child set him on the path to social work. The trauma and legacy of his mother’s death in a car accident. Choosing to face grief without leaning on vices. Writing and performing as practices of healing. How the death of a public figure can impact those who never even met them.

  • Now I’m An Adult Orphan: Tyler Feder On Dancing At The Pity Party, Again
    Sep 16 2025

    When Tyler Feder was 19, her mom died of cancer, an experience she captured years later in her bestselling graphic memoir Dancing at the Pity Party. In the years since, Tyler has described herself as a “dead mom person” - reflecting just how much of her life was shaped by the death of her mother. But this past winter, Tyler’s dad also died, adding a new aspect to her identity, this time as an adult orphan.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • The contrast between her parents’ personalities – mom (quiet, creative, cat-like), dad (gregarious, emotional, dog-like) - and which of those aspects Tyler carries forward in hers.
    • How writing, art, and community help her process grief.
    • One of Tyler's favorite questions about her parents.
    • Why tangible keepsakes matter so much.
    • The difference having a parent die when you’re still a teenager vs an adult.
    • How her family approached her father’s illness and death compared to her mom’s.
    • Living with worry and fear about her own health and mortality.
