  • It Opened Me Up To Love - Danielle LaRock

    It Opened Me Up To Love - Danielle LaRock
    Jun 23 2025
    How do you keep your heart open to love after it's been broken apart by grief? Danielle LaRock was just 19 when her father died of a heart attack. A few years later, in 2022, her partner Ian died suddenly. Then, in 2024, her beloved dog Blue died, and with Blue went many shared memories of time spent with Ian. The experience of loving and being loved by Ian opened up places in Danielle's heart that had closed down after her father's death. That openness has stayed with her, even as she grieves for both Ian and Blue. That ongoing love and connection have shaped Danielle's grief and the ways she tries to support others who are also grieving. We discuss: How Danielle coped - and didn't - as a college student after her dad's deathThe isolation of being surrounded by peers who hadn't experienced the death of a parentMeeting Ian as children and reconnecting as adultsHow Ian's own experience with the death of his dad helped him understand and support her griefBeing present for Ian's medical crisis and emergency brain surgery The trauma of witnessing his death and being the person who had to tell his friends and familyHow experiencing deep love with Ian changed her approach to all relationships Learning to celebrate the milestones of others while grieving the loss of the ones she would have shared with Ian The spiritual awakening Danielle experienced after Ian's death Discovering traditional therapy didn't work for her The value of online support groups, specifically for young widows & widowersExploring ways to support others in their grief Guest Bio Danielle LaRock is the co-host of the popular podcast National Park After Dark, which explores dark history and tragedy in outdoor spaces. A former veterinary technician from New England, Danielle has become a compassionate voice in the grief community, using her own experiences with loss to help others navigate their journeys.

  • How They Died Matters, A Daughter's Story - Kari Lyons-Price, MSW

    How They Died Matters, A Daughter's Story - Kari Lyons-Price, MSW
    Jun 19 2025

    Sometimes we can't really begin to understand grief - ours or anyone else's - if we don't have space to talk about the death. The context surrounding how someone died matters and can shape our grief in meaningful ways. This was true for Kari Lyons-Price, MSW, who was a caregiver for her parents, Hal and Sylvia, for many years. They died three years apart, her dad in 2019 and her mom in 2022, and the circumstances of their deaths greatly impacted Kari and her grief.

    We discuss:

    • How her parents lived - and how they each died
    • Why their death stories matter when it comes to grief
    • The anger and resentment in the immediate aftermath of her father's death
    • What she's done to come to terms with the circumstances of each of their deaths
    • The role advocacy and education in the realm of care facilities played in that process
    • Making decisions about her mother's care in light of how her father died and the pandemic
    • The ongoing, slow nature of grief when someone has a long-term degenerative illness
    • What it's meant to no longer be a caregiver for her parents
    • Overcoming her family's narrative of autonomy and learning to accept support in grief
    • Where Kari finds her foundation now

  • The Longevity Of Grief

    The Longevity Of Grief
    Jun 16 2025
    In this episode, Camila returns to Grief Out Loud six years after her first appearance to share how grief continues to evolve. What began with the sudden loss of her mother at age 21 has now expanded to include the ongoing grief of caregiving for her father, who is living with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Camila discusses the unique challenges of long-distance caregiving, the differences between sudden loss and gradual decline, and how these two types of grief intersect in her life. She also discusses navigating major life milestones—including getting married during the pandemic—without her mother's presence. We Discuss: The difference between sudden loss and the "slow grief" of watching a parent decline How grief has shifted in the 15+ years since her mother's unexpected death Losing her father as the co-archivist of her mother's life and their family history Managing long-distance caregiving The failures of the elder care system in the U.S. The role of chosen family and supportWedding planning and the question of how to honor her mother's memory The complexity of being a queer person in traditionally heteronormative grief support spaces Feeling like she no longer has parents, even though her father is still alive The therapeutic value of pets Finding moments of connection and joy with her father despite his condition Using poetry as a processing tool for grief About the Guest: Camila is a poet who has published three books of poetry: The Progression of Grief (about losing her mother) New Waters (about falling in love and healthy relationships) The Longevity of Grief (about caring for her father and how different types of grief intersect) This episode is the third in our 2025 three-part series highlighting the voices of communities who have historically been underrepresented in the grief world. The series is part of an ongoing collaboration between Dougy Center and The New York Life Foundation. We are deeply grateful for New York Life Foundation's tireless support and advocacy for children and teens who are grieving. Grief Out Loud is a production of Dougy Center, the National Grief Center for Children and Families in Portland, Oregon.
