Note: This is a republished archive episode from 2025. We're bringing back some of our most impactful conversations for new listeners while we prepare new episodes. In this deeply moving episode, Skylar sits down with Linh Luu, who survived a tragic and preventable car accident that took the lives of her boyfriend, Misha Romanenko, and her beloved dog, Keeper.

Jason’s Story: On Choosing to Go Through Grief, Not Around It
In this episode of Good Grief, Skylar sits down with Jason, who takes us back to his late twenties, when he lost his mom, Connie, after her four-year battle with breast cancer. Jason opens up about the almost eight years he spent avoiding his grief entirely — pushing it down, numbing it, refusing to face it. He shares what finally changed: getting sober, walking into therapy, and choosing to do the hard work of grieving head-on. Now, Jason is on the other side of that journey — able to feel connected to his mom again, open to the signs she sends him, and genuinely at peace. This conversation is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to begin healing. Jason also shares a clip from the song, “I Go Through” by O.A.R., and how it inspired him to stop avoiding grief and instead face it head-on. Please leave a rating, share a comment, and subscribe!

Grief Got Lost in My Google Calendar
Sam would have turned 27 on June 12th. Instead of spending the day grieving her brother, Skylar spent it buried in work, preparing for a company-wide presentation, answering messages, and racing through a packed schedule. Before she knew it, the day was over, and she never had the chance to truly grieve. In this episode, Skylar opens up about the guilt of feeling disconnected from grief, the pressure to honor important dates a certain way, and what happens when life gets so busy that grief gets pushed aside. Because sometimes, grief doesn't disappear, it just gets lost in the calendar. Please leave a rating, share a comment, and subscribe!
