Grief Witnessed is a podcast about the kind of grief we don’t talk about enough and the power of being truly seen inside it.
Each episode shares real, honest stories of loss in all its forms: the death of a partner, parent, or child… the grief of divorce… the life you thought you’d have but didn’t get.
This podcast exists to witness grief. NOT to fix it, rush it, or tidy it up. Just to sit with it.
The Love of a Father with My Father Law, Tom Martin
Don't forget to watch on Youtube! (https://youtu.be/tqukykfwgQY)
In this episode of Grief Witnessed, I sit down with someone who means so much to me, my father-in-law, Tom. This conversation is incredibly special because we loved and lost the same person. I lost my husband, and Tom lost his son.
Together, we reflect on the first year without Tanner and what grief has looked like for each of us. Tom shares stories about raising Tanner, the joy he brought into every room, and the little moments that made him who he was. We also talk about how our bodies remember grief, why a parent's loss is so unique, and how love continues to live on through memories, family, and Tanner's daughter, Amy Lou.
One of my favorite parts of this conversation is simply getting to hear Tom tell stories about Tanner as a little boy. They made me laugh, they made me cry, and they reminded me that the people we love never stop shaping the lives around them.
If you've ever lost someone you love, or if you've wondered what grief looks like from a parent's perspective, I hope this conversation helps you feel seen. It's a reminder that grief changes over time, but love never does. Enjoy this season 1 finale, of Grief Witnessed.🤍

Mental Illness Is Not A Character Flaw with Tamara Brock
Don't forget to watch on Youtube!
In this episode of Grief Witnessed, I sit down with one of my very best widow friends, Tamara, to share the story of her husband, Grant.
They met at church, where Grant taught a Sunday School class so loved that people would crowd the room and sit on the floor just to hear him teach. He was a gifted musician, a man of deep faith, and someone who cared deeply about the people around him.
Grant also lived with bipolar disorder. He carried so much shame surrounding his illness but worked incredibly hard to heal and had been doing so well in the years leading up to his death.
While serving a shift at a homeless shelter, he took methadone during a manic episode without fully understanding the danger. Being the kind of person he was, he called Tamara to confess. She rushed to him and performed CPR for 13 agonizing minutes before paramedics arrived.
As a nurse practitioner, Tamara wrestled with overwhelming guilt, wondering how she couldn't save the person she loved most.
In one of the most vulnerable conversations we've had, Tamara also shares what happened after Grant's death. She talks honestly about the unbearable weight of grief, begging God to take her life, and how she slowly found a way to keep living after losing her best friend.
This episode is a powerful reminder that mental illness is not a character flaw, that addiction and bipolar disorder deserve compassion instead of shame, and that even in the deepest despair, hope can begin to grow again.
You can also listen to Grant's music on Spotify under the name Kevat.🩵
