Ep. 5: Navigating Loss & Grief in Your 20s (and Beyond)

What this episode covers

Janine is the owner and designer of Kwohtations, a Brooklyn-based stationery company that celebrates the diversity of identities and life experiences, with a distinct humor and empathy. She is also the author and illustrator of the forthcoming book Welcome to the Grief Club , which addresses many of the surprising, confusing, brutal, funny, and downright bizarre parts of grief. Throughout our conversation, we discuss the unexpected loss of Janine’s partner and the distinct challenges of navigating grief in your 20s, the evolution of grief from day 1 to year 5 and 10, to some of our most strange and inconsistent grief behaviors, moments of frustration and invincibility, and of course, some tips for those who are currently grieving and those who are supporting a loved one in this process.
