The Grieve Better podcast is coming spring 2025.

if you’re here you might know what it’s like to be the guest house for grief.

This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they are a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whatever comes. because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
— Rumi

About The GRIEVE BETTER Podcast:

This is a show that talks about something most of us would rather not talk about - that thing is called grief. Now, more than ever, how we deal with change and change we didn't ask for is begging for our attention. 

We all grieve and we do it our own way.   Libby Carstensen, the host of The Grieve Better Podcast, asks "Is it possible to grieve better?".

The simple answer to a complicated question is, "Yes"! 

We know that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to loss,  Each episode contains grief education, deep listening, exploring the latest research from grief experts, examining ideas and the neuroscience of change, and hearing from listeners just like you who have a message to share as a result of experiencing loss.

 Every week on the Grieve Better Podcast, we want to share something you maybe didn't know about grief to expand your perspective. Some weeks that thing will be shared by one of our guests or me. 

We explore the different types of loss, the impact on our bodies and our brains, and begin to explore ways to cope with change we didn't ask for to grieve better together.
