The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

My grief journey has been all over the place.

I've experienced a lot of loss in my life, just specifically in my 20s, but losing my little brother who's 20.

It was like January 20, 24, so it's still like not that long ago.

because obviously you know that they're gone. Something that would really bother me whenever I was like initially going through grief and loss, like people would go to my best friend and be like, oh my God, like two or three months into it.
