Grieving Greatly: Life After Sudden and Traumatic Loss
Grieving Greatly is a podcast for anyone navigating life after sudden and traumatic loss.
Hosted by grief counsellor Jen Connors, this podcast offers compassionate conversations about grief, trauma, healing, and the long road of learning to live after someone you love dies unexpectedly.
After losing her son Harry suddenly, Jen understands firsthand how disorienting and overwhelming traumatic grief can be. Through personal reflections, professional insights, and honest conversations, she explores the realities of grief that many people feel but rarely talk about.
Each episode offers gentle support, practical tools, and reassurance for those navigating suicide loss, overdose loss, sudden death, or any loss that has changed life forever.
If grief has reshaped your world, you are not alone. This is a space where grief can be spoken about honestly — and where healing can begin.
