In this deeply personal conversation, journalist and author Danielle Crittenden joins the show to discuss her new memoir, Dispatches from Grief: A Mother’s Journey Through the Unthinkable. On a February morning in 2024, Crittenden received the call no parent prepares for: her 32-year-old daughter, Miranda, had been found dead in her Brooklyn apartment. In this episode, she talks candidly about the howling early days of loss, mourning rituals that gave her structure, the search for a grief therapist who could actually help, and how she found her way back to living .
