About this episode

The episode explores the universal experience of grief through a conversation with journalist Danielle Crittenden, who shares her personal loss and insights.

Grief is the one experience nobody escapes, nobody schedules, and nobody gets to opt out of. In that sense it's almost democratic — ruthlessly, mercilessly so. I’m joined by Danielle Crittenden , long time journalist and the author of Dispatches from Grief . Danielle lost her daughter Miranda suddenly in 2024. She writes about it the way a foreign correspondent files from a war zone — dispatches from a country we think we're prepared for, until we arrive.
