About Ghosted

Grief can feel like the ultimate ghosting, someone you love is gone, and you’re left with silence and questions. Ghosted is here to break that silence. Each episode shares stories of the people we’ve lost: the quirks we miss, the advice we wish we could ask for, and the ways they still show up in our lives. Sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking, always real — this is a community where we keep our people alive through stories. Every episode is a reminder that grief isn’t just sadness; it’s love, comedy, awkwardness, and everything in between. Welcome to Ghosted , where we have real, loud conversations about the people who ghosted us, because grief shouldn’t be quiet.

   Flabulouslo- Coffee and Dark Humor

   Grief gets louder when you stop hiding it. Lo shares the raw, darkly funny story of losing both parents young, from the complicated loss of a mother changed by a brain aneurysm and alcoholism to the devastating day she found her dad, Fred, at home alone. This conversation is for anyone carrying loss that never quite got the language it deserved. Lo and host Emma get into the kind of grief that starts in childhood, lingers for years, and resurfaces in unexpected ways - anger, guilt, anxiety, PTSD, and the loneliness of being an only child with no parents by 32. You’ll hear Lo unpack the messy truth of grieving a parent who was physically present but never really there, why her dad’s death hit like losing both parents at once, and how dark humor became part of her survival. She opens up about the moment she realized she had to stop pretending everything was fine, the trauma of finding him, and the difficult work of learning to live with an image she can never unsee. Emma and Lo also talk candidly about the relationship between grief and identity, what it means to build community online, and why speaking openly about loss can make other people feel a little less alone. At its core, this episode is about what grief changes, what it reveals, and why the people we lose should still be spoken about out loud. If you’ve ever loved and lost, or if you’re trying to understand how someone keeps going after unimaginable loss, this one will stay with you.

   Ashley Spivey - The Grief Trifecta

   This week on Ghosted, we’re joined by Ashley Spivey for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had yet. Ashley opens up about losing her dad, suddenly becoming his executor, and then discovering that her boyfriend had cheated on her just months later. That heartbreak eventually led her to The Bachelor and, years later, to a life she never could have imagined for herself. But Ashley’s story didn’t stop there. She gets incredibly candid about fertility struggles, miscarriages, pregnancy loss, and ultimately losing her son, CJ, who she carried and gave birth to stillborn. We talk about what it means to grieve a child, the complicated realities of pregnancy and fertility loss, and the ways the healthcare system can make already devastating experiences even harder to navigate. Ashley also shares why she continues to use her platform to talk openly about the things people are often expected to suffer through quietly. This is a conversation about grief, motherhood, loss, advocacy, healthcare, and finding a way to keep living when your life looks completely different than you imagined. Ashley is honest, vulnerable, funny, and incredibly open about the parts of her story that so many people are afraid to talk about. Because sometimes grief doesn’t just change your life. It changes the way you see the world.

   Jackie Clarke - Finding The Joy In Simplicity

   Two years after losing her mom to alcoholism, COVID, and a trauma no one talks about, Jackie Clark opens up about the kind of grief that never arrives all at once - it builds, it lingers, and it changes every milestone that comes after. If you have ever loved someone complicated, lost a parent young, or wondered how people keep living when the story ends badly, this conversation will hit hard. Emma welcomes Jackie to Ghosted for a raw, honest, and surprisingly hopeful conversation about losing her mother, Dorothea, at 22, and learning how to hold anger, love, guilt, and gratitude in the same breath. Jackie shares what it was like to watch addiction unfold over years, navigate a COVID-era hospital death, and process the surreal reality of saying goodbye while wearing protective gear in an ICU. You’ll hear how grief shows up in the details most people never mention - the calls you never want to get, the legal and logistical chaos after someone dies, the delayed crash of emotions, and the strange loneliness of having to explain your loss to new people over and over again. Jackie also opens up about the village that carried her through it, including her brother, her aunt, her therapist, and her soon-to-be mother-in-law, Caroline, who has become a beautiful source of support as Jackie plans her wedding without her mom. We also get into the ways she keeps Dorothea close: wearing her necklace, carrying her memorial card while traveling the world, and making choices that let her mom be present in the moments she missed. Jackie talks about moving from New York to Berlin and then Australia, how grief and healing evolved over time, and why she now believes you can be devastated and joyful at the same time. This episode is for anyone navigating loss, supporting a grieving friend, or trying to understand the complicated truth that you can miss someone deeply and still be angry at what they left behind. Jackie’s story is heartbreaking, honest, and full of the kind of love that keeps going.
