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.

#4 Grieving the Living: Types of Loss We Don't Talk About
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we explore the grief that lives in the in-between—anticipatory grief when you know loss is coming, living grief when someone is here but already gone, and disenfranchised grief that society tells us doesn't count. Through the story of a patient facing a terminal diagnosis and the song, we uncover how these hidden forms of grief shape caregivers and families. If you're loving someone through dementia, terminal illness, addiction, or estrangement, this episode is for you. You're not alone, Comadres.
