Aloha! Welcome to the Grief and Happiness podcast. My name is Emily Thiroux Threatt, and I am your host. I am the author of Loving and Living Your Way Through Grief, The Grief and Happiness Handbook, and creator of Grief and Happiness Cards: Gentle Support for Dealing with Grief and Finding Happiness

My purpose with the Grief and Happiness Podcast is to demonstrate to people who are dealing with grief and loss that they can grieve and be happy at the same time. The wide variety of guests address the myriad of issues that arise with loss and the spectrum of how grief and happiness relate. After a loved one dies, often people say they will never be happy again. By covering thought-provoking topics like creativity, compassion, community, purpose, inner peace, strength, coping, surrendering, and resilience with authors, speakers, coaches, and friends, listeners find inspiration and confidence guiding them on their grief journey. Each week the podcast showcases an interview with an inspiring guest and an additional brief podcast with a message of support and comfort.

Anyone dealing with grief or loss can come to the Grief and Happiness podcast to find comfort, support, love, and happiness. You are welcome here to learn ways to live your best life.

    Suicide Grief Lasts Longer, and No One Warned Her: A Mother on the Shame and “What Ifs” Books Skip
    2026/10/20
    If you’ve tried to comfort a mother who lost a child to suicide, or lived it, episode 466 of Grief and Happiness is for you. Jackie M. Baker shares why suicide grief lasts longer, how shame and “what ifs” isolate parents, and how journaling healed her. Saying yes to help and finding beauty in brokenness helped her laugh again.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(00:43) Meet Jackie: pediatric nurse practitioner and mom of two(01:19) Losing her son to suicide and the journey to Messy Mourning(08:46) Reading her journal aloud to a grief counselor to release her pain(12:27) Finding beauty in her brokenness, one sunrise at a time(13:37) Saying yes and offering grieving friends practical help(17:32) Leading GriefShare and the pastor who urged her to grieve openly(21:09) Back at work as a nurse practitioner through grief fog(29:16) Free suicide loss resources, from laments to “things that help, things that hurt”Jackie M. Baker is a writer, storyteller, and pediatric nurse practitioner based in Vancouver, Washington. After her 23-year-old son, Sebastian, died by suicide in 2017, she began writing through her grief, which led to her debut book, Messy Mourning: Hope for Mothers Grieving the Loss of a Child by Suicide, a companion offering honest reflection and hope. Her work covers grief, faith, motherhood, and healing, and she writes on Substack. Jackie also leads a GriefShare group at her church, supporting widows, widowers, and parents through loss.In this episode, Jackie tells Emily how Messy Mourning came to be. After losing Sebastian, who struggled with bipolar disorder and depression, she became an empty nester within six months and took a creative nonfiction class. She wrote a memoir first, then started over on her writing coach’s advice. Finding little written on suicide loss, she saw that this grief often lasts longer and carries extra shame, guilt, and “what ifs.” Jackie explains how reading her journal aloud to a grief counselor released grief the body would otherwise carry, and how she looked for “beauty in my brokenness” daily. She also learned to say yes, accepting offers of help and taking a youth pastor’s advice to keep meeting with her church group of girls so they could see her grieve and keep living. She closes with free resources from her website, including a “things that help, things that hurt” list and songs of lament.Connect with Jackie M. Baker:WebsiteInstagramFacebookSubstackBook: Jackie M.

  • The Grief You Never Talk About May Already Be Shaping Your Children

    The Grief You Never Talk About May Already Be Shaping Your Children
    2026/09/29
    If you've wondered how unspoken grief shapes those you love, episode 464 of Grief and Happiness is for you. Author Audrey Hyams Romoff, daughter of a child Auschwitz survivor, shares how her family's silence reached her daughter. A joint trip to Auschwitz broke it, showing how honesty and kindness can keep trauma from the next generation.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(00:53) Audrey's background and her memoir on four generations of women(01:21) Her mother's childhood in Auschwitz and the silence passed down to her daughter(09:22) How a trip to Auschwitz with her daughter changed their relationship(11:56) Why the crowds at Auschwitz gave mother and daughter opposite reactions(15:25) Writing a grief memoir without tying it up in a pretty bow(17:23) Why the circumstances of a death shape how grief lingers(19:44) How her mother and grandmother carried the same trauma so differently(32:30) Why "survivor" marks the start of a new battle, not the end(34:07) Small kindnesses and her Aunt Sheila's motto: just show upAudrey Hyams Romoff was born in Montreal to a mother who was one of the youngest children to survive Auschwitz, and grew up in a home that looked polished while that history played out within. In Toronto, she founded OverCat, a communications and influencer agency, consulting for brands such as Victoria's Secret and Estée Lauder and stars like Jennifer Lawrence. Cosmetics Magazine named her a top public relations executive, and she chaired communications for the Fashion Cares AIDS fundraiser. Her memoir, The Undertow of Grief: Navigating Intergenerational Trauma, follows the Holocaust's impact across four generations of women.In this episode, Audrey shows how unspoken trauma is passed down. She describes her mother's refusal to face her past and the loss of both parents in 2008, when her mother ended her life and her father died alongside her. After learning her daughter, Lindsay, had hidden her own grief to protect her, Audrey traveled with her to Auschwitz for PBS NewsHour on the 80th anniversary of its liberation. She explains why her mother rejected the word "survivor," why Audrey sees survival as the start of a new battle, and why her book offers no tidy ending. Grief and joy coexist, she says, but grief never leaves, and she closes with a case for small kindnesses and her Aunt Sheila's motto: just show up.Connect with Audrey Hyams Romoff:WebsiteInstagramTikTokFacebookLinkedInYouTubeBook: Audrey Hyams Romoff - The Undertow of Grief: Navigating Intergenerational TraumaLet's Connect: WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagramTwitterPinterestThe Grief and Happiness AllianceBook: Emily Thiroux Threatt - Loving and Living Your Way Through Grief Hosted on Acast.
