About this listen

 Hello and welcome to Let’s Talk About Grief! Each week I talk to professionals and non-professionals about things related to grief, loss, death and dying. Grieving is an experience we will all have in our personal lives. Yet, it’s one of the least talked about subjects around. Well, avoid no more! On our show you learn about the transforming nature of grief. Expect to gain insight on how to have difficult conversations about grief with family members who try to avoid it like the plague. Learn what it takes to get your financial and legal affairs in order to prepare for the inevitable. And also learn about grief from the viewpoint of funeral directors. But, most of all, be prepared to be informed, inspired, and uplifted. Tune in to Let’s Talk About Grief!, with Addie Anderson.Addie Anderson Science Social Sciences

  • Encore: Coping With Grief After a Sudden Death

    Encore: Coping With Grief After a Sudden Death
    Oct 15 2018
    If we had it our way, most of us would like to have the opportunity to say goodbye to the people in our lives before they die. However, in a lot of instances, this is not the case. The sudden death of a loved one can throw your life in a tailspin. Even though grief from a sudden death is not greater than an anticipated death, the capacity to cope with sudden death is diminished. Tune in today to hear La Tanya Cobb and Shandra Summerville tell their stories of grief, heartbreak and resilience after the sudden death of a loved one. What they have to say might be just what you need to help you on your grief journey.

  • Encore: The Black Man's Grieving Heart

    Encore: The Black Man's Grieving Heart
    Oct 8 2018
    Today's show explores the intersection of race, gender and grief, specifically looking at Black men and the grief process. Although grief is a natural social process, it is often misunderstood and can have negative implications for one's psychosocial development if left unattended or if inadequately processed. Because Black men not only experience normal grief, but are susceptible to egregious injustices and senseless acts that result in grievous experiences; understanding the social, cultural and psychological aspects of Black men’s grief process deserves attention. Join us today as we take a look at gender differences in response to grief, and as we discuss various social and cultural implications related to the Black man's grief experience. Tune in and learn ways that you may be able to help care for a Black man's grieving heart.

  • Grief and Children: Help for Parents

    Grief and Children: Help for Parents
    Oct 1 2018
    Today's show explores how to deal with death and grief with our children. From deciding how to talk to children about a sick loved one before their death, to making decisions about children going to funerals, to how grief looks different and unexpected in kids, we discuss tips and strategies for parents. This is part of parenting that we usually feel unprepared for and do not talk about like we do so many other parenting milestones. Our impulse is often to protect our children from sadness and loss, but we can also give them the gift of experiencing death in a supported way that will better equip them to manage loss as they grow up. Tune in and learn what to say to kids about death and dying, what to do to support kids in their grief, and what to expect in their grief process.
