Giving Grief Grace, a grief podcast for the sandwich generation
Loss changes everything. But it doesn't have to have the last word. Giving Grief Grace is a podcast dedicated to those in the throes of caregiving and loss with honest, compassionate conversations about grief, healing, and what it means to keep living after loss. Hosted by Lisa Hartung, a speaker, HR professional, and fellow griever, each episode creates space for the stories we don't always know how to tell.
From disenfranchised and hidden grief, to grieving while parenting, to the ways men experience loss differently, to the unexpected power of creativity and legacy, this show covers grief in all its forms. Featuring expert guests, real stories, and practical tools you can use right now.
If you've lost someone you love or are in the throes of caregiving, you belong here.

Episode 32 - Grieving Through the Holidays (Week 3): Legacy & Creating New Memories
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Week 3 of the Grieving Through the Holidays Advent series, Lisa invites the community to shift from remembrance and fully embracing emotions into a sense of renewal. After honoring our loved ones in Week 1 and holding space for our emotions in Week 2, this Week 3 episode focuses on honoring legacy while intentionally creating new memories.
Lisa shares about a new tradition that she's begun with her daughter through doing daily Advent puzzles together. This daily task has become a sacred moment of connection, presence, and love. Through this reflection, she explores how grief and joy can coexist, how small moments can become meaningful rituals, and how new traditions can help carry love forward without leaving the past behind.
This week's practices include:
- A journal or voice-memo prompt:What new memory can you begin this year that makes space for both grief and joy?
- A doing prompt: Capture the new memories or traditions being made this week on camera, video, or artistic medium.
This episode is a reminder that even in seasons of loss, we can create something new and filled with intention as we continue healing, one small step at a time.
To follow along with the prompts throughout Advent, join the community on Instagram and Facebook @givinggriefgrace, or email "Advent" to hello@lisahartung.com to receive the weekly reflections.
