Engaging in candid discussions surrounding the profound impact of a devastating loss, we proudly introduce the Grief Uncensored Podcast. Hosted by Julia Gallegos and Yako Shirasuna, this podcast delves into the poignant reality of losing a parent prematurely, an experience that forever altered our lives at the tender age of 21. Having found each other in the depths of our grief, we navigated the tumultuous journey of mourning while completing our final semester of college. Now, we embark on the pursuit of self-discovery and our place in this world.

S 3 Ep 6: Giving Condolences Is Still So Hard (Minisode)
In this minisode, we talk about the pressure that we feel as grievers to have grief all figured out. People look to us to help them understand grief in general, and, specifically, we have this responsibility to help others understand our complex feelings surrounding our own grief. This is so much, and we don't always know the answers because we're still struggling to figure it out for ourselves!
We still struggle to place our emotions and express them correctly. We struggle to know what we need sometimes, and how to communicate something we don't even know ourselves. When another loss occurs, we will probably struggle to find the right words to say to another griever even when deep down we know the ones we would want to hear. We know first hand that the best condolences are action-based, and not words. Just by you having “survived” grief, you are a comfort to someone.
Just because we know grief DOES NOT make us experts!

S 3 Ep 5: Your Grief is Your Own & Grieving on Social Media
Join us this week on Grief Uncensored as we dive into the meaning of the phrase we always say in the beginning of our episodes - your grief is your own. We'll also dive into the complex world of social media and its impact throughout all the stages of the grieving process. Social media and it’s endless stream of information, people, interactions, proves to be one of our biggest triggers, but also our best resource.
No two grief stories are ever the same, even when grieving the same person within the same family. Everybody deals with it differently, and whatever you do, however you cope and process your grief, is 100% valid. As a griever, vulnerability, although scary, can be so rewarding. Sharing your story with others is a powerful tool that can help people close to you understand who you are. We hold a lot of power in our storytelling, and it is a tool for healing. If sharing is something you want to do, we believe you should do it with confidence. But we’ve all been there: you decide to share some details or stories about your journey, just to be met with blank stares and awkward silences.
In this episode, we discuss the importance of choosing the right confidants for your grief journey and why it's perfectly okay to keep some aspects of your experience private. here's the truth: you don't owe anyone an explanation for your grief. It's yours to carry, yours to process, and yours to share - on your own terms. Feeling like you're "too much" or burdening others with your pain is a common struggle. But we're here to remind you that you are worthy of love and understanding, no matter the depth of your grief or the "baggage" you carry.
