A Place Where Grief Can Be Spoken

An Introduction to The Grief Between Us

Episode Summary

In this opening episode, Patti Merrill introduces The Grief Between Us and shares the heart behind the conversations to come.

This podcast was created as a space for honest, thoughtful conversations about grief in all its forms. While grief is often associated with death, it can also be found in change, in endings, and in the quiet ways our lives unfold differently than we expected.

Each episode will explore a different perspective on grief, including how it shapes identity, relationships, faith, and the process of learning to live alongside loss over time.
