Episode notes

The first six months after a major loss, a big death or a shadow loss, is normal. When your life is so significantly impacted that you cannot live your life after that six-month period, some additional strategies might make sense. But kind of, if it's within six months, you're not broken. You're just going to tak a little itt a shit show, right? Bessie ye, what about we talked about this earlybut what about ike the anger component? That's the stage, or the facet of grief that freaks me out the most. How how do you deal with that one? Cause that's just, that can be destructive.

If you have a physical body, or know someone who does, this episode is for you! Hello, we’re all going to die. And we’re probably all going to lose someone we love. Thanatologist Cole Imperi has become a dear friend and on July 17, 2022 we pulled up a street corner in LA to chat about what she’s been up to and how to cope with the loss of a loved one. Hear about the blooming of friendship and the passing of your Grandpod, then after the break it’s a solo advice dump from me – your internet dad – with all of the handy tips that listeners and Cole gave me as I have been Going Through It. Everything is going to be okay. It might suck here and there, but the best we can do is love hard, live fully, and cherish the memories. Also: cut bangs, text your crush, eat a tiny ice cream cone.
