How to Sit With Stories of Death

Long before I put my professional experience out on the air waves, I listened to the Grief Out Loud podcast. It's hosted by Jana DeCristofaro and is produced at the Dougy Center. If you are not familiar with the Dougy Center, it is an organization in Portland, OR that provides support to grieving children, teens, and young adults.

The Dougy Center is highly acclaimed for their work. In fact, many other organizations throughout the United States base their work off of the model provided by the Dougy Center.

Today, I am proud to share my interview with Jana DeCristofaro from the Dougy Center. Our conversation entails Jana's commitment to 20+ years of consistent efforts to de-stigmatize grief and grieving.

I deeply respect Jana's professional expertise. It was an honor to interview her.
