Whatever shape your grief takes, these conversations help you understand it more deeply and find your way through with gentleness and connection.
*Episodes are available here for a limited time, then archived in our Podcast Library as part of our Community Care Hub.
EPISODE 1: “What is Grief, Really?”
Here we reflect on the meaning of grief, notice what arises within, and begin to understand grief not only as an emotion, but as something deeply lived, deeply felt, and profoundly human. This foundational episode sets the tone for our ongoing conversations about the many ways grief shows up in our lives—not only through death or loss, but through change, transition, disconnection, and the quiet shifts that shape our humanity.
Hosted and created by Mario Gross, MDiv, MSW, Humanist Chaplain & Celebrant (conferred), mental health care provider, and policy advocate committed to culturally attuned, community-rooted care.
EPISODE 2: “When the World Moves On?”
We reflect on the meaning of misaligned grief in this episode: those tender moments when our inner world is still aching, remembering, or searching for solid ground while others expect us to be “better,” “brighter,” or ready to return to normal life. We take time to recognize how disorienting it can feel when the world’s pace does not honor the pace of our hearts, and how this misalignment can deepen the sense of isolation or invisibility within our grieving process.
We take moments to notice what arises within the body and spirit when grief feels out of sync with life’s demands, and we begin to understand grief not simply as an emotion but as a lived, embodied, human experience shaped by relationship, love, memory, and the weight of what we carry. We also acknowledge how minoritized and vulnerable communities often experience grief in silence, lacking the communal support or social validation they deserve, and why honoring their experience matters deeply.
This episode is hosted by Mario Gross (Mai), a Mental Health Provider, Humanist Chaplain & Celebrant, and is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and remember that your grief is valid, your pace is sacred, and you do not have to navigate this alone.
