0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of Iway with Jimmy Ligemail, a podcast against shame.
0:05.6	I hope you're well and I'm really excited for you to listen to today's episodes. It's one of my
0:11.0	standout all-time faves and an episode I really need it because it's about a subject that I really
0:19.2	don't know about or really understand beyond a kind of cerebral level and I have a strong feeling
0:25.6	that you need this to considering how overwhelming the amount of questions that came in when I
0:31.1	put the word out to you that I was going to do a podcast episode on the subject of grief
