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.

#9 What Facing Death Teaches Us About Life

What does facing death teach us about truly living?
In this episode, I'm getting personal. I'm pulling from my years working in a hospital — sitting with patients at their most vulnerable, watching lives change in an instant — and sharing the lessons that have never left me.
I'm also talking about Eric Dane's Netflix special Famous Last Words, where he recorded a final message to his daughters before passing away from ALS at 53. His words stopped me in my tracks, and I think they'll stop you too.
We talk about what it means to show up for the people you love, why so many of us are living on autopilot, and why the most important thing you can do today is — stop waiting.
