About This Podcast

The experience of a sudden or unexpected death leaves us lost, without direction, and in unspeakable pain. Untethered: Healing the Pain from a Sudden Death is designed for those who are hurting and guides them along their journey in anchoring themselves, rebuilding, and moving forward in life. Listeners will be unique in their common experiences of trauma and loss. Early episodes of the show (podcasts 1-10) will be foundational and educational in nature and focus on the realities and unique aspects of living with traumatic grief, as well as offering suggestions to decrease pain. Subsequent podcasts will expand to include interviews with professionals in the field and grieving individuals who will share their experiences, insights, and growth. Our goal is to give listeners knowledge and comfort, and to assure them they are not alone in this experience.
