GRIEF AND LIGHT

This space was created for you by someone who gets it – your grief, your foundation-shattering reality, and the question of what the heck do we do with the shattered pieces of life and loss around us.

It’s also for the listener who wants to better understand their grieving person, and perhaps wants to learn how to help.

Now in its fourth season, the Grief and Light podcast features both solo episodes and interviews with first-hand experiencers, authors, and professionals, who shine a light on the spectrum of experiences, feelings, secondary losses, and takeaways.

As a bereaved sister, I share my personal story of the sudden loss of my younger brother, only sibling, one day after we celebrated his 32nd birthday. I also delve into how that loss, trauma, and grief catapulted me into a truth-seeking journey, which ultimately led me to answer "the calling" of creating this space I now call Grief and Light.

Since launching the first episode on March 30, 2023, the Grief and Light podcast and social platforms have evolved into a powerful resource for grief-informed support, including one-on-one grief guidance, monthly grief circles, community, and much more.

With each episode, you can expect open and authentic conversations sharing our truth, and explorations of how to transmute the grief experience into meaning, and even joy.

My hope is to make you feel less alone, and to be a beacon of light and source of information for anyone embarking on this journey.

Thank you for being here.

We're in this together.

Sundari Malcolm

Sundari Malcolm knows intimately that grief is both an emotional and physical experience that reshapes us from the inside out. Raised by Yogi parents steeped in the spiritual teachings of Hindu, African, Obeah, and Hoodoo traditions, Sundari's path was shaped early by both the sacred and the embodied. At 27, after seven years as her mother's caregiver, she lost her to breast cancer. Four years later, her father died from complications of brain cancer. Those losses redirected her life's purpose entirely. Today, Sundari is a Birth, Grief, and Death Doula, a Yoga, Breathwork, and Meditation teacher, author of Grief Gems, and founder of A Healing Doula Academy. She's also a contributor to Get Griefy Magazine and a grief expert with the For Grief Speakers Bureau. Her work is dedicated to helping people move through life's greatest transitions with presence, ritual, and embodied awareness.
