Welcome to spiritually hungry.

Today we're going to talk about grief.

We've talked about grief before and you can check out those episodes.

It was episode 1, 41, and 42.

But we felt it was necessary to have an even deeper conversation on this topic. Grief is something that most everyone will experience at some

point in their life, and it's also a topic that most people do not like to talk about.

Our guest today is actor, performer, director, Grant, Gary.

Grant directed the documentary. Meet me where I am. And it's an exploration of brief. We're going

to talk about that and really unpack many different ideas. So join us.

Hello, Grant. Thank you for joining us today. I think it's serendipitous that we're actually speaking

about this this week. My grandmother passed away five days ago. Was it? Monday, I think literally a week ago. Oh, a week ago. Yeah, we flew to

L.A. and right back again. And then my father passed three years

before that and Michael's mother four years ago, who I was very close to as well, a mentor. So I've given

a lot of thought to grief and different stages of grief and how we grieve people differently for

different reasons. So we're really excited to have this

conversation with you today. To start with, I'd love to know what personal experience, if any,

inspired you to do a documentary on grief because it's not a super, let's say, sexy title.

Your documentary is Meet Me Where I Am and it's an exploration of grief.

But it's a topic, I mean, quite frankly, most people avoid because it reminds us of our own

demise or losing something that we don't want to lose, whether it's, you know, divorce or

the ability to use our body as we did or death.

So tell us what got you here. Yeah,
