About The Grief Podcast

Welcome to the grief podcast for young adults. Meet Sasha, your host: "I'm Sasha. My mum died of breast cancer when I was 17, and it changed my life. Every bereavement is different. And while different circumstances brought us here, in this podcast we talk about death, grief, love, memories… and everything in between."The Grief Podcast is brought to you by Kenzie’s Gift and SkyCity Auckland Community Trust. Kenzie’s Gift exists because of Conor’s mum, Nic Russell, who founded the charity after Kenzie died of cancer at age three. Nic saw firsthand how little support there was for grieving children and their whānau, and she made it her mission to change that. This podcast is here to bring real kōrero about grief into the open—so no young Kiwi has to feel alone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
