We talk about the stories we're grappling with in our writing. This episode requires a *content warning* for grief-related subjects such as death, pregnancy, child loss, suicide. If you're not up for that, this might not be the pod for you at this time. It also might be the pod you were looking for, the place where our grief stories are finally not too much. We offer up a prompt near the end of the episode. Welcome to Writing Grief! We're new here too.

6 // Something About Structure
What are we talking about when we talk about story structure?
5 // Writing the Worst Moment
In this conversation, we talk about writing our worst moments. If you're writing grief you probably have a moment or series of moments that are definitively shocking, devastating, and full of loss and fear. We talk about how to write these so-called worst moments in a meaningful and responsible way.
Episode 4 // The Question of Self-Pity
Leaping off from Joan Didion’s refrain in her memoir, The Year of Magical Thinking, we examine questions about self-pity and its place in writing that is meant to be seen and read.
Episode 3 // Why Are We Writing About Grief!?
Here we are in our third episode. We ask ourselves: why write a grief memoir? Why do we want to write at all? We go way way back to early life. Rachel talks about her teenage writing life and Meli shares memories of her childhood stories. At the end of the episode, Rachel has a challenge for you.
