Guys in Grief is a powerful podcast hosted by three courageous fathers who have each experienced the unimaginable loss of an infant—through SIDS, stillbirth, and TFMR (termination for medical reasons). This podcast is one of the few dedicated spaces where grieving dads speak honestly about their experiences, making it an especially meaningful resource for fathers navigating infant loss.

What makes Guys in Grief truly special is the raw honesty and camaraderie between the hosts. They often bring in their wives to offer a partner’s perspective and feature guests who share in their grief journey, but the heart of the show lies in the conversations between the three men. Their openness offers a rare and needed glimpse into how men process loss—often differently from women—and their reflections can help couples better understand each other as they grieve.

I always recommend starting with Season One to get the full depth of their individual stories and the bond that forms between them. Whether you're a bereaved parent or supporting someone who is, this podcast offers wisdom, comfort, and solidarity. It’s not just for dads—anyone could benefit from hearing these heartfelt conversations.

While The Mel Robbins Podcast isn’t centered on grief, it frequently touches on topics that resonate deeply with grieving parents—stress, emotional regulation, relationships, motherhood, and the mind-body connection. Mel’s approach blends personal insight with neuroscience, offering listeners a grounded understanding of how our brains and bodies process intense emotions like grief, trauma, and anxiety.

Her podcast covers a wide range of themes, but what stands out is the compassion and clarity she brings to each conversation. She has a gift for translating complex science into something that feels warm, empowering, and deeply human. For those who need a more concrete, brain-based framework for understanding what’s happening inside their mind and body after loss, her episodes can be incredibly validating.

One of my favorite episodes is the 1/21 episode, where she explores the long-term impact of stress. She explains how the body’s stress response can numb us in the moment—and how, even years later, as the response fades, pain can re-emerge. This episode, in particular, speaks volumes to many of the grieving parents I’ve worked with.

Mel’s podcast may not be specifically about loss, but it’s filled with heart, intelligence, and tools that can support healing. She makes the world feel a little lighter, and sometimes that’s exactly what we need.

Hosted by Megan Devine—author of the groundbreaking book by the same name—It’s Okay That You’re Not Okay is a deeply validating podcast for anyone experiencing profound grief. Megan offers a perspective that challenges the cultural expectation to “move on” after loss. Instead, she gently invites us to make space for grief, to carry it, and to live alongside it without needing to fix or erase it.

This podcast was one of the first places where I heard someone articulate what so many grieving parents feel but can’t always say: that we don’t get over loss—we learn how to carry it. Megan’s honest and compassionate voice, along with her insightful guests, gives language to the pain and helps listeners feel seen, even in their darkest moments.

Many of the quotes and ideas that helped shape my own understanding of grief came from Megan’s work. She has a gift for honoring pain without trying to soften or reframe it—and that kind of truth is rare and powerful. The podcast often discusses the tension of dealing with well-meaning people who urge you to “move on,” and it offers tools for living with the weight of grief in a world that doesn’t always understand.

If you’re feeling lost or overwhelmed by the idea that you should be "okay" by now, this podcast is a safe and loving place to land.
