Dear TTFA family,
You have been a mainstay in my grief process after the death of my son 8 years ago. I can’t tell you in words how much you all and your show have meant to me; to be real about grief in a world that is scared to face the “terrible”. I understand the changing forms of grief also and how change is a constant companion, morphing in subtle and sometimes expected but mostly unexpected ways. The progression on your show and your stories have served us all. I remember the show you did where you discussed how we often jump into big projects, foundations, etc. to help ourselves feel worthy of still living. That’s what I did and as I look back, I had so much adrenaline toward SO many things that I understand my body was helping me survive. And then down the line, we get tired and learn how to exist in a different way. Your time and efforts toward TTFA have made a huge impact on this world and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wish you peace and joy.

Such an amazingly beautiful, heart wrenching podcast! Just discovered it. Have only listened to a few episodes, but man, these stories make you feel some stuff! It’s tough to come by something that makes you smile one sec, and rips your guts out the next. Just.... ❤️
I guess I wrote this, but didn’t send it back when I first discovered this podcast yeeears ago! I came here to leave a review and this popped up. I’ll leave it and go on to say what I came here to say.
My best friends mom was diagnosed with brain cancer a little over a week ago. She went to the ER because she was experiencing weakness in her left arm. She left the ER with a brain cancer diagnosis. That was Friday. By Tuesday she was given the life expectancy of a year MAX. I recommended this podcast to my friend, I think it would be really helpful for her to hear other people’s stories. Their struggles and grief, but also that they come out of everything “ok”. They find joy in their lives again. I’ve never experienced anything that anyone on this podcast talks about, yet, these stories still give me hope. I think this podcast makes a difference.

Nora thank you so much. Everything you say resonates so much with me. Your recent episode with Charles got me big time. I lost my husband this year after only 2 months of knowing he was sick. With a 13 year old and a kid in college I couldn’t face losing him even after he was gone. Even though my babies were grown they were forever changed and so was I. In my grief losing my person and their parent, this has helped me so much.

Love the show. Sad it’s going on an indefinite hiatus. But just a warning for those that get bothered by mouth noises…I’m currently bingeing from the beginning and the mouth gooey noises that they don’t edit out really drive me insane! I listen to LOTS of storytelling podcasts and none of them have the amount of slobber sounds like this one. But yes the stories are so good and I love the empathy and compassion!
