Grief & Light Podcast: Embracing What Is

You know when you immediately fall in love with another human? When you are instantly drawn to their light, their devotion, their ferocity, their goodness? That’s how I felt meeting Nina Rodriguez of the Grief & Light Podcast. Our episode, Embracing What Is, came out today–an hour of reading poems from The Unfolding, plus conversation about the intricate relationship between grief, praise, and the art of surrender. We delve into how moments of beauty and connection can arise even in the depths of sorrow, emphasizing the importance of honoring loved ones while navigating personal loss. Through poetry and personal anecdotes, we illustrate the duality of joy and grief, and the grace found in surrendering to life’s challenges as we’re flooded with “the relentless truth of what is.” The discussion culminates in a reflection on the complexity of emotions and the healing power of words.
