What
happens when a daughter comes out as queer to her Christian Parents
and then soon after her mom dies? How does she deal with grief of
never getting to finish the rumble of her sexual identity with her
mom?

I'm delighted to have interviewed Shelby
Forsythia about the grief of not only losing her mom at
the young age of 21, but also the grief of never getting to finish
a conversation that has left her rumbling with feelings of
unacceptance. Shelby is the author of Permission to Grieve and podcast host of
Coming Back: Conversations on Life After
Loss. After the unexpected death of her mother in
2013, she became a “student of grief” and set out on a lifetime
mission to explore the oft-misunderstood human experience of loss.
Through her book, weekly podcasts, and one-on-one grief guidance,
she helps grieving people find direction, get support, and
cultivate radical self-compassion after devastating loss.
