Jesse: “Gay and grieving, and turning loss into leadership. Man, I should trademark these!”
<p>Welcome to 2024! I miss you and even though the podcast has officially ended, I still have so much great content you haven’t heard. So how about a little bonus episode to kick off the year!</p><p><br></p><p>Jesse Moss is the rockstar Director of Marketing at <a href="https://experiencecamps.org/">Experience Camps</a>, an award-winning national nonprofit that transforms the lives of grieving children through summer camp programs and year-round initiatives. She’s in charge of developing strategies and content to create a more grief-sensitive culture and advocate for grieving children. She's also the voice and creator behind the <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@experiencecamps?lang=en">Experience Camps TikTok</a> (over 45 million views and counting!). </p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, we talk about the death of Jesse’s brother Jordan to suicide when she was just 22. You’ll also hear how Jesse’s complicated relationship with her mother eventually turned into deep love (and funny emoji's!) for the last five years of her mom’s life.</p><p><br></p><p>We also talk about Experience Camps’ free summer youth programs, and how working there has turned Jesse’s “loss into leadership.” (Don’t steal her tagline!)</p><p><br></p><p>Have you signed up for the podcast newsletter yet?

Nana: “Bye, bye darling.”
<p>Welcome to <em>I Swear on My Mother’s Grave</em> and the finale episode of Season 3. Yay! 3 seasons, baby!</p> <p><br></p> <p>I don’t want to bury the lead…so, I also want to welcome you to the end of my podcast journey with all of you. This is it, friends. I am turning off the mic after this episode, but I might release a special compilation of conversations you haven’t heard yet at some point…so don’t unsubscribe forever!</p> <p><br></p> <p>It’s hard for me to say goodbye to you all, and to this show because it has changed my life, AND this is the best community of listeners and now friends, in the world.</p> <p><br></p> <p>But sometimes things end. Naturally. And that’s how this feels, it feels like the right <em>time. </em>And the right moment in MY grief journey to step away.</p> <p><br></p> <p>So, since goodbyes are hard, it just felt fitting to end this journey talking about preparing to say goodbye to those we love, and to share with you all what I learned about sitting with the dying as I approached my Nana’s death this past summer.</p> <p><br></p> <p>In this episode, you are going to get to hear an excerpt of a conversation I had with Uma Girish, a spiritual mentor and author, who helped me prepare to say goodbye to my 96 year old Nana. I will tell you what those 4 days sitting bedside with her were like as Uma’s advice kept rumbling thru my mind, and childhood memories of both my mother, and my Nana resurfaced…and how maybe this entire podcast journey was leading me to this moment.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Sign up for all the latest news around this podcast, yearly retreats and see behind the scenes content on our <a href="https://danablack.org/podcast" title="<span data-offset-key="4nd88-1-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; text-decoration: underline;"><span data-text="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;">website</span></span>"><u>website</u></a>.
