About this listen

In this episode of Good Grief: Notes to My Mom, I explore how different cultures around the world honor loss, hold space for mourning, and carry their grief, not just through tears, but through tradition.

From Ghanaian funerals that turn sorrow into ceremony, to Japan’s quiet rituals of remembrance, to the colors and candles of Día de los Muertos: we’ll look at the many ways people say goodbye, and how cultural rituals can shape the way we grieve and heal.

This episode is a note to anyone who has ever felt like their grief didn’t "look right" and a reminder that there’s no single way to mourn. Just many human attempts to stay connected to the ones we’ve lost.
