Grief Comadres | Real grief. Real women. Real healing.
Welcome to Grief Comadres, the podcast where we take off the mask and get honest about grief.
Hosted by Jackie—speech-language pathologist, grief coach, and fellow traveler on this journey—this show is about normalizing grief in all its forms. Whether you're healing from death, divorce, job loss, health challenges, or life's unexpected transitions, you'll find your people here.
We've been taught to hide our pain, to fake the smile, to say 'I'm fine' when we're anything but. This podcast changes that conversation. Through real stories shared sin vergüenza (without shame), cultural wisdom, and heartfelt connection, we create space for the grief that society tells us to hide.
Here, your grief is valid. Your story matters. And you're not alone.
Join the Grief Comadres community and stop carrying your grief in silence.

#2 When God Feels Distant: Grief, Faith, and Healing

In this deeply personal episode, I share the story of losing my stepdad Martin during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a healthcare worker watching the crisis unfold, my worst fears came true when both my parents contracted the virus. Through tears, prayers, and questions for God, I learned that grief and faith don't have to be enemies—they can walk together. If you've ever felt abandoned by God in your darkest moment, this episode is for you, Comadre. Please note: This episode discusses loss, grief, and the COVID-19 pandemic, which may be difficult for some listeners. I am a grief coach and speech pathologist, not a medical doctor or licensed professional counselor—if you need medical or mental health support, please seek care from your physician and/or LPC.
