Hey friends!

Welcome to The Grieving Girl Podcast. I'm Bonnie, your host—a millennial who embarked on the challenging journey of grief at the tender age of 14, when I lost my dad to liver failure. Later on, I faced another heart-wrenching loss when my mom suddenly and traumatically passed away when I was 32.

In the aftermath, I scoured the podcast landscape, searching for something that would speak to the unique challenges and emotions I was experiencing—both in the practical realm of handling her estate and in the depths of my heart, mourning the sudden and traumatic loss of my best friend.
