Welcome to The Ratchet Grief Podcast™, where we explore aspects of grief beyond the death of loved ones. Hosted by Dr. Jamie, Thanatologist, Poet, and Friend, this podcast sheds light on the broad spectrum of grief experiences—from the loss of people, places, and positions to the erosion of dreams, safety, systems, the environment, and identity.

Each episode explores how race and class shape our grief, questioning the norms of what losses are acknowledged and how mourning is expressed. "The Ratchet Grief Project is not just a platform; it's a movement to amplify the voices and stories of communities often sidelined in mainstream discussions about grief.

Join us as we:

• Cultivate awareness about both visible and invisible losses.
• Create space for authentic stories and genuine emotions.
• Consider the impact of socio-economic factors on our grieving processes.
• Construct empathetic and equitable grief support strategies for the disenfranchised.
• Co-create meaningful rituals and embrace the power of joy.

The Ratchet Grief Podcast invites you to rethink the traditional narratives around grief and mourning, fostering a community where all experiences are valued and supported. While our discussions may be therapeutic, they are not a substitute for professional therapy.

Tune in to transform and heal as we honor every story with empathy and respect.
