Friends for over 20 years, Azizah, Tasha, and John found themselves in a similar heartbreaking circumstance - losing their sibling at a young(ish) age, leaving them without the only person in this world that shared their special DNA connection. In this podcast about grief, we check in with one another and raise questions about what the hell grief even means in today's crazy modern world. In each episode, we'll dive in with a "de-grief" about what inspired us that week, what stopped us in our tracks, made us laugh or cry -or simply made us go, "wait, gone like, forever?!"
