Grief is inevitable. Whether losing a loved one, family member or grieving a change in circumstances, grief is a part of life. It can still be incredibly difficult to talk about, however, and many change the subject without really dealing with it. If you’re looking for companionship in your grief journey or coping skills for a recent loss, these podcasts on grief are full of advice, stories, and more.

BetterHelp starts at $65 per week and is FSA/HSA eligible by most providers. Take a free online assessment and get matched with the right therapist for you.

Terrible, Thanks For Asking1. Terrible, Thanks For Asking

Nora McInerny lost her husband, her father, and her unborn second child in “one catastrophic year.” Now, she writes about how we handle grief, and our willingness to ignore it to save face.

Her podcast explores what it means to be honest about our mental health at the moment, rather than pretending like everything is ok.

Listen wherever you find your podcasts.

Griefcast

2. Griefcast

We often see a lot of comedians running mental health podcasts, and while it may seem odd, it does make sense after a while – after all, grief and comedy are more connected than you may think. “Griefcast is a podcast that examines the human experience of grief and death – but with comedians, so it’s cheerier than it sounds,” the website states.

This podcast features a new guest every episode to talk about their experience with grief; the honest, the raw, the heartbreaking, the sometimes funny moments.

Listen on Apple Podcasts.

Unlocking Us3. Unlocking Us

This Dr. Brene Brown podcast is about mental health and the “conversations that unlock the deeply human part of who we are, so that we can live, love, parent, and lead with more courage and heart.” Topics include loneliness, living with faith, and storytelling.

Their episode with grief expert David Kessler is a good place to start. Listen on Spotify.

Grief Out Loud4. Grief Out Loud

Losing someone is never easy, but not feeling like you can’t talk about it is difficult and isolating. This podcast from the Dougy Center wants you to talk about your grief out loud, in public, and they’re here to support you while you do it.

Episodes feature children, teens, and anyone who’s dealt with grief and willing to share their story. In their most recent episode, a young woman shares how much anger she felt at her dad’s suicide, and how she had to deal with those emotions before they damaged her relationships.

Listen on Spotify.

Grief Unfiltered5. Grief Unfiltered

“One thing I’ve learned about grief is no one talks about it and you’re just supposed to figure out how to deal with it, but I’m ready to start the conversation.” Host Jayme Allis was sick of feeling so lonely in her grief journey.

She started this podcast to talk to others and give space for their grief while encouraging listeners to make room for their own.

Listen on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, and Spotify.

Grief and Guts6. Grief & Guts

Melissa Dlugolecki’s world changed when her daughter was born – and four months later, it changed again. Absolutely devastated, she “sought every means to ‘fight’ grief.” She joined parent groups and traveled around the world to hear experts.

“Disappointed, I discovered like all adversities in life, there is no way to ‘beat’ grief,” she writes. Dlugolecki started her podcast to discuss the real strategies she found to cope with her grief, and give others what they need to navigate the uncomfortable stages of grief. It takes guts, she writes, but it’s worth it.

Listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

 Grief is a Sneaky B!tch7. Grief is a Sneaky B!tch

Title aside, this honest and raw podcast is here for the deep conversations we don’t always want to have, but sometimes really, really need to. Lisa Keefauver, MSW, is a clinical social worker who’s seen her fair share of grief – her own and others.

She started this podcast to talk to CEOs, writers, and everyday people to discuss how culture and societal expectations force us to shape our grief.

Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

 Good Mourning 8. Good Mourning 

Sally Douglas and Imogen Carn want to normalize talking about loss and grief in a world that makes death taboo. Their podcast is honest and even a little funny at times, talking about losing someone to suicide to watching someone slowly fade from a degenerative disease.

Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Give Grief a Chance9. Give Grief a Chance

Mindset and grief recovery coach Diane Morgan’s podcast on grief deals with all kinds of loss; from jobs to pets to divorce. With it, she hopes to bring awareness to grief and allow for others to share their experiences. Topics include trying to run from grief, why it’s so hard to deal with, and how no two journeys are the same.

Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

The Grief Sofa Podcast10. The Grief Sofa Podcast

Podcast hosts Alice Williams and Lucy Dennis share weekly stories from others on their grieving journey, from those who have lost parents, family members, and even an episode on how to deal with a grieving friend.

Every episode is just about giving space to share their story, much like a friend would on another friend’s couch.
