When Grief Feels Fresh Again | Grief City
Every loss is different. But something I didn’t fully understand until this last year is how a new loss can make an old one feel fresh again.There’s this compounded grief that can happen where you’re grieving what’s right in front of you, while also being pulled back into the pain of someone you lost years ago. So many things become triggers, and sometimes it’s hard to even know what you’re sad ab
Unprocessed Grief | Grief City
What happens when grief goes unprocessed?In this episode, I’m talking about a part of grief that I don’t think we talk about enough: what happens when the pain we’re carrying starts spilling onto the people around us.After my stepfather-in-law suffered a stroke, I found myself face-to-face with parts of my dad’s death that I thought I had already processed. Watching someone I love survive somethin
Processing Grief: What it Looked Like | Grief City
I talk a lot about “processing grief,” but I realized that phrase can feel a little vague. Everyone processes loss differently, and I’m not here to tell you there’s only one right way to do it.In this episode, I share what processing loss has personally looked and felt like for me, along with what it may look like in your own grief journey.No one should have to navigate loss alone. Always here to
What My Father Taught Me | Grief City
It’s important to talk about our grief, but I think it’s equally important to recognize all the ways we continue to carry our loved ones with us.Throughout my own grief, I’ve realized how many of my dad’s traits live on in me. His resilience, his strength, his ability to hold onto hope. Ironically, so many of the things he instilled in me have become the very things that have helped carry me throu
Griefy Tip #40: Hips don't lie
Shakira wasn't kidding. Hips don't lie. 🙃We often think of grief as something that's only emotional, but it's physical too. It becomes this whole mind-and-body experience.As if the emotional weight wasn't enough, grief can show up as tension, exhaustion, aches, brain fog, and so many other physical symptoms. It can feel incredibly overwhelming.If you've been wondering why y
Griefy Tip #39: You never forget them
One of the biggest fears after loss is forgetting the people we love.It's a terrifying thought.As the weight of my grief slowly became a little lighter, that fear actually grew louder. I started wondering, What if I forget his voice? His laugh? The little things that made him him?This week's Griefy Tip is about those complicated emotions.Grief changes. It softens, reshapes, and looks diffe
Griefy Tip #38: The Annoying Things
It's strange how the very things that once annoyed us about the people we love can become the things we'd give anything to experience again.After someone dies, so many of those little frustrations begin to fade. Their habits, quirks, and imperfections don't seem nearly as important anymore.You'd gladly take every one of them back if it meant you could have one more day together.Hav
Griefy Tip #37: The Grief Echo Chamber
Grief can be deeply isolating.In the early days after my loss, I worked from home and spent most of my days alone. Without even realizing it, I became trapped in what I can only describe as a grief echo chamber. The more isolated I became, the louder my thoughts, fears, and emotions grew.I believe every griever needs to make space to sit with their grief. We can't heal by avoiding it.But I als
Griefy Tip #36: Learning to Love Yourself
Loss changes us.Does it change everything about us? Not necessarily. But it does change us.One of the hardest parts of grief is learning to accept who you are after loss. Because accepting this new version of yourself often means accepting that they're really gone.It's complicated. It's uncomfortable. It's heartbreaking.But there can also be something beautiful in getting to know y
Griefy Tip #35: As the grief shifts...
Grief changing can feel almost as unsettling as grief itself.For so long, the pain feels overwhelming and ever-present. Then one day you realize you're crying less, thinking about them differently, or carrying the loss with a little less weight. And strangely, that can bring up guilt, confusion, or even fear.In this Griefy Tip, I talk about the shifting nature of grief and why those changes do
Griefy Tip #34: Funerals, Viewings, Memorials...oh my!
I have very mixed feelings about viewings, funerals, and memorial services.On one hand, I love that they create space to hear stories, connect with people who loved your person, and celebrate a life that mattered.On the other hand, they can be incredibly overwhelming. You're grieving one of the biggest losses of your life while simultaneously greeting dozens (or hundreds) of people, making dec
Griefy Tip #33: The "Firsts" Hurt
All the significant dates can feel so intense after a loss, especially the “firsts” without them. The first Christmas. The first birthday. Anniversaries, special times of the year, even the first time you do something they used to do with you. There are so many firsts. They’re never easy, but I hope this Griefy Tip reminds you to make space for your grief and all the big emotions that can flood in
Griefy Tip #32: Give Yourself Grace
When I started working on my healing after loss, all I wanted was to feel better. I was so tired of the sadness and heaviness each day. But healing is rarely instant, and I think we need to be more gracious with ourselves in that process.Let's stay connected: 🎶 Listen to my music (Griefy Pop for your heavy heart):https://open.spotify.com/track/6KojoR...📱 Follow along on Instagram:https://www.i
Griefy Tip #31: You Can't Fix Grief
When you feel grief for the first time, it's overwhelming and uncomfortable, and all you want is a fix. The tough part is… There is no fix. But there is healing.Let's stay connected: 🎶 Listen to my music (Griefy Pop for your heavy heart):https://open.spotify.com/track/6KojoR...📱 Follow along on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/newellamusic📱 Follow along on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/
Griefy Tip #30: Grief Needs An Outlet
Grief needs somewhere to go. In my experience, it will eventually come out in either healthy ways or unhealthy ways. Most of us experience both at different points in our grief. But I’ve found much more peace and healing when I give my grief a healthy outlet.Let's stay connected: 🎶 Listen to my music (Griefy Pop for your heavy heart):https://open.spotify.com/track/6KojoR...📱 Follow along on In
Griefy Tip # 29: Toxic Beliefs
After the trauma of loss, it can be really hard to imagine that anything good could still exist in life. It becomes surprisingly easy to adopt that belief. Many of us find ourselves there at some point in grief. But it’s an important thought to challenge. Loss changes our lives deeply, but it doesn’t mean that goodness has disappeared forever.Let's stay connected: 🎶 Listen to my music (Griefy
Griefy Tip #28: Feeling Them Close
It’s natural to feel some fear when thinking about doing things you used to do with your loved one, or doing things they loved after they’re gone. The fear that it might make you emotional is real. But sometimes those moments can also make you feel close to them again in a way you didn’t expect.Let's stay connected: 🎶 Listen to my music (Griefy Pop for your heavy heart):https://open.spotify.com/tr
Griefy Tip #27: Healing Doesn't Just Happen
Healing after loss isn’t the easy, straightforward path we wish it could be. It’s messy. Some days it can feel like it will never happen. The hard truth is that healing usually doesn’t just show up one day out of nowhere. It asks something of us. It asks us to show up for it, little by little.This was one of the toughest parts of grief for me to accept, especially when I was in the depths of agony
Griefy Tip #26: Stop Apologizing for Your Grief
Why do we feel the need to apologize for having big emotions after losing someone we love? I still catch myself doing this sometimes. When we live in a world that doesn’t always know how to respond to grief, it’s easy to start explaining ourselves, minimizing our feelings, or apologizing for them. But this is loss. There is nothing to apologize for. Your grief doesn’t need to be justified, and you
Griefy Tip #25: Jealousy is Normal
Jealousy is one of those emotions I grew up believing was bad, bad, bad. And in a lot of situations, it probably is. But in grief, I think it can be a very normal thing to experience. It’s hard to watch other people still have their loved ones here and see them do all the things you wish you could still do with yours. If that feeling shows up for you, try not to shame yourself for it. Meet it with
Griefy Tip #24: Grief is Physical
Grief is more than just an emotional experience — it’s a physical one too. This is one part of grief I really struggle with because it can come with real physical discomfort and pain. Grief doesn’t just live in our hearts; it lives in our bodies. When we’re aware of that, it’s important to take small steps to care for ourselves physically too — rest, movement, breathing, whatever support your body
Griefy Tip #23: Lonely in a Crowded Room
This is one of those “I didn’t expect to feel this way” parts of grief. In the early days after my loss, crowded rooms and social gatherings felt incredibly hard. I could be surrounded by people and still feel completely alone. If you’ve experienced that too, you’re not strange, and you’re not broken. It’s actually a very normal part of grief.Let's stay connected: 🎶 Listen to my music (Griefy
Griefy Tip #22: New Holiday Traditions
Sometimes, keeping holiday traditions is exactly what helps us feel close to the ones we miss. Other times, creating something new is what brings peace during this season. There’s no right or wrong way to move through the holidays—only what feels right for you. But I want to encourage you to try something new. You might be surprised by the peace and joy that can come from a new tradition.
Griefy Tip #21: People Who Honor Your Grief
This is a big one. If you’ve been listening to the podcast long enough, you know I believe in setting boundaries—while also not being so rigid that they become walls. That said, this is one boundary I feel strongly about. It’s especially important during the holiday season, but honestly, it matters year-round.Will we encounter people throughout our lives who don’t honor our grief or who say insens
Griefy Tip #20: Make Space for Your Grief
I don’t know about you, but I’ve noticed that as significant dates and holidays approach, my grief tends to swell—especially when I’m not giving it space to be felt.This Griefy Tip is all about that. If you haven’t already, I hope you’ll permit yourself to feel whatever comes up this season.Buried grief has a way of surfacing in forms that don’t serve us. It’s a tender time—let yourself process th
Griefy Tip #19: A Beautiful & Bittersweet Holiday
This holiday season can hold both beauty and heartbreak after losing a loved one. It’s incredibly hard to accept that two opposite truths can exist at the same time.Often, it feels easier to immerse ourselves in just one of those truths, because holding both can be uncomfortable. But as we open our hearts to the difficulties of this season—and also open our eyes to its moments of beauty—I hope you
Griefy Tip #18: Holiday Boundaries
The holiday season can feel especially heavy without the ones we love. During these tender times, setting boundaries is essential—but do they always need to be rigid?In this new Griefy Tip, I’m sharing how to honor your needs while still allowing room for connection and compassion.You don't have to do this grief journey alone. Let's stay connected: 🎶 Listen to my music (Griefy Pop for your
Griefy Tip #17: Agony Won't Last Forever
I used to believe that the daily agony I felt after my loss would last for the rest of my existence—truly, I did.But there came a point when my heart slowly began to heal, and the constant agony eased. You’d think that would make anyone feel better, yet when it started happening, it filled me with guilt. It was strange. As the daily misery began to fade, I felt like I was leaving my dad behind.But
The Final Stop
Wow. What a season. So many tears, so many moments of healing, laughter, and connection. So many important conversations. I feel nothing but deep gratitude—for you, for every guest I had the privilege of speaking with this season, and for the ability to create something meaningful out of a tragedy I once thought would break me completely.I didn’t know if I’d ever find purpose or peace again. I alw
Griefy Tip #16: Finding Motivation
After my loss, I was highly motivated… to stay sad and hide under the covers all day. But motivation for work, projects, or even the things that were supposed to help me heal? That was a whole different struggle.In today’s Griefy Tip, I’m talking about that tug-of-war—wanting to heal but feeling completely stuck. I’m sharing my own experience and a simple, practical piece of advice that might help
Griefy Tip #15: Process Your Grief
Grief needs to be expressed — it can’t stay locked inside. When it goes unprocessed, it often finds its way out later in ways that can be painful or confusing, both for you and for those around you.You’ve probably heard the phrase “you have to process your losses” — and for good reason. We can’t go around grief; we have to move through it. Healing does come, but it isn’t easy. It’s uncomfortable,
Griefy Tip #14: Finding Griefy Friends
Finding griefy friends can be tough. A lot of times, we think people who’ve experienced the same kind of loss as us will automatically be the best kind of support — and while that’s true for some, it’s not always the case.In this Griefy Tip episode, I talk about my experience in early grief — trying to connect with people who understood father loss — and what I’ve learned along the way about what
Griefy Tip #13: Anxiety
Anxiety about all sorts of things seems to be a common experience for many of us who are grieving. Anxiety before loss was hard enough, but after loss, it can feel so much more intense. I want you to know that this is completely normal—and if you’re going through it, I’m so sorry. It can be truly overwhelming.In this Griefy Tip episode, I share a bit about my own experience with anxiety after loss
The Pain of Pet Loss
Pet loss is an incredibly common—and deeply painful—kind of grief. Last Thanksgiving, we said goodbye to our sweet dog, Poe, a blue-nosed pit bull we rescued five years ago from a kill shelter in South LA.Poe brought so much joy, peace, and comfort into our lives, especially after the loss of my dad. Even when you know your pet won’t live forever, nothing truly prepares you for the heartbreak when
Griefy Tip #12: The Truth About the 7 Stages of Grief
The seven stages of grief are widely accepted—but grief isn’t that simple. While each stage reflects a valid emotion many grievers experience, the idea that you move through them in order and then you’re “done” grieving just isn’t accurate. Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and it definitely doesn’t fit neatly into boxes. In this Griefy Tip episode, we’re talking about how the stages can help u
Griefy Tip #11: Find Joy
I know how hard it can be to feel joy after losing someone you love. But even the smallest moments of joy are essential for healing. It doesn’t have to change your whole day—sometimes, it’s enough to notice joy in the little things, the simple things. They matter more than we realize. That's what this Griefy Tip is all about.Today, I hope you find a bit of that joy—something small that makes y
Bittersweet Birthdays
Ever feel like skipping your birthday because, after loss, it just doesn’t feel worth celebrating?Yeah... I’ve been there too.When my dad passed away in 2021, my birthday came less than a month later—and it was one of the hardest days I’ve ever faced. Since then, birthdays have carried a bittersweet weight.Today, as I turn 33, I want to share a few thoughts from the heart. This episode is for anyo
Griefy Tip #10: Grief Brain is Real
I wish this wasn’t part of grief—but it is.The stress of loss can overwhelm both your brain and body. Forgetfulness, poor decision-making, and that heavy “foggy” feeling? They’re all common experiences after loss.In this Griefy Tip episode, I’m talking about Grief Brain—what it is, how it shows up, and a few ways you can find some relief along the way.
Griefy Tip #9: Take a Walk
I know — it sounds ridiculously simple, and definitely not profound. But taking walks has been one of the most powerful tools for my emotional well-being after loss.You’ve probably heard it before, and there’s a reason for that: it works.In this short episode, I’m sharing why something as ordinary as going outside and moving your body can make an extraordinary difference — especially on the heavy
From Father Loss to Finding Family w/ Melvin Adams
At 13, Melvin Adams lost his father. But the grief he felt wasn’t just about losing a parent — it was about losing the possibility of the father he never really had. His dad hadn’t shown up the way a father should, and that kind of loss comes with its own layers of pain.And yet, through that loss, something unexpected happened: other men stepped in. Coaches, mentors, even my own dad — they became
Griefy Tip #8: Changing Family Dynamics
Nothing truly prepares you for the shift that happens after losing a parent.It’s not just about missing them—it’s about navigating the sudden changes in family roles and dynamics that follow. It’s heavy, it’s complicated, and it’s real. This griefy tip is here to remind you that you’re not alone in feeling all of it—the confusion, the frustration, and the emotional weight of these shifts.
Griefy Tip #7: Healing Requires Participation
Okay, this one might feel like tough love—but hear me out. Before anything else, take the time you need to truly feel the weight of your grief. No one is rushing you. When you're ready to begin the healing process, know that it will ask something of you: to show up, day by day. Not perfectly—just honestly.That's what today's Griefy Tip is all about—healing, and how it requires your par
Where is God in Our Grief?
When my father, someone who had always encouraged me in my faith, passed away, I found myself questioning everything. I didn’t want to hold onto God anymore.In this episode, I share the struggles and doubts I faced in the aftermath of my loss—how, at times, it felt like God was distant or that I was being punished (something I know many of us can relate to). But through it all, I realized God was
Faith After Loss w/ Natasha Smith
Few things shake our faith more deeply than walking through trauma. After my own loss, I spent months wrestling with God, asking “why,” and struggling to hold on to my faith. I’ve long wanted to have this important conversation about faith after loss with someone who truly understands what it means to navigate deep grief while still holding on to God. That’s why I knew Natasha Smith was the perfec
Griefy Tip #6: People Say the Darndest Things
People tend to say some wild things after a loss. Honestly, I could probably fill an entire episode with the bizarre, awkward, or downright hurtful comments I’ve heard. Something about tragedy seems to draw out the most unfiltered responses—maybe it’s the discomfort, the high emotions, or just not knowing what to say.This is one Griefy Tip I really wish I had followed more closely: how to deal wit
The Ripple Effect of Loss
Loss has a way of touching every part of your life.It seeps into everyday moments, making even the ordinary feel different. Grief reveals parts of us we didn’t know were there—it changes us. Sometimes in ways we welcome, sometimes in ways we don’t.In this episode, I wanted to share some personal stories about how I’ve felt the ripple effect of loss in my own life.None of us would ever choose this
Griefy Tip #5: You'll Always Miss Them
In the weeks after my loss, I kept wondering if I'd ever catch a break from the constant ache of missing them. Grief shifts as our hearts begin to heal — some days lighter, some days heavier — but the missing never really ends. We carry them with us, always.
"You're So Strong"
"You're So Strong" – A Phrase We Love to HateThe phrase "you're so strong" has become a bit of a punching bag in grief spaces — and maybe unfairly so. Many grievers indeed bristle at hearing it. I’ve been on both sides: I’ve said it before I experienced loss, and I’ve heard it after. The discomfort around this phrase is real and valid.But what if we took a step back? Wh
Griefy Tip #4: Give Yourself Grace
We are so hard on ourselves, especially as we navigate the depths of something as difficult as loss. Some days, you may have tons of energy — and especially early on, there will be many days when you don’t, and you feel unmotivated. That’s okay. Give yourself grace.
Griefy Tip #3: You Are Resilient
This one might be touchy for some, but there is so much truth behind it. Just because you may feel weak does not mean you are a weak person. The resilience it takes to navigate loss is immense, and while you may not feel proud of that strength today, one day it will encourage you.
Friendship After Loss w/ Rachel Dwyer & Kendel Rogers
Friendship After LossLosing someone you love can be one of the loneliest experiences in life. It often reveals who your true friends are—some show up and support you, others pull away, and many want to help but simply don’t know how.Navigating friendship in the aftermath of grief is complex. There’s no guidebook, no perfect way to show up or be supported. Sometimes, you just need people who get it
Griefy Tip #2: When the Memories Fade
When the memories start to feel like they’re fading… ugh, it’s such a heartbreaking feeling. Honestly, I think it’s one of the biggest fears we face in grief — the fear of forgetting.That’s what Griefy Tip #2 is all about. In this episode, I’ll share a simple, practical way to help keep those memories alive — something you can actually do when that fear starts to creep in or you start forgetting.Y
Griefy Tip #1: When You Don’t Cry
When I lost my dad, I was overwhelmed — even reading felt like too much. I quickly realized that grief doesn’t follow a rulebook. I needed to feel it in my own way and give myself permission to heal without pressure.There’s so much helpful information out there for grievers, but it can feel like a lot. That’s why I created Griefy Tips — short, 2–3 minute episodes offering simple, thoughtful advice

Guilt & Grief
Guilt & Grief — two emotions that should never go hand-in-hand, yet they almost always do. And when they collide, the result can be devastating.From the very first day of my grief journey, guilt took hold of me. It all traced back to one moment—one decision—while my dad was in the hospital. That moment haunted me for nearly a year. I believed that by punishing myself with guilt, I was somehow
Dreams of Loved Ones
We’re kicking off Season 2 of Grief City by talking about something deeply personal to me—dreams. In this episode, I share the role dreams have played throughout my life, including two specific dreams I had about my dad before he passed away. While the miracle I thought we’d see didn’t happen, those dreams brought deep comfort and felt like a kind of strategy from Heaven.I also open up about what

I just want to make you proud!
Immediately after losing my dad, I got hit with this feeling of needing to make him so proud of my life. While this is a great thing, it quickly turned into an unhealthy striving & tearing myself apart.
