You just lost your loved one. Now what?

Welcome to Grief and Light, a podcast about the honest truth of life after loss. Hosted by Nina Rodriguez, whose world was forever changed after the sudden death of her only sibling, this show explores the reality of grief, not as something to fix, but as a lifelong companion we learn to live with.

On Grief and Light, you’ll hear:

  • Honest reflections on the complexity of grief
  • Conversations about post-traumatic growth without bypassing pain
  • Stories that remind us grief and joy can coexist

Here, we live in the "and", where sorrow and joy, darkness and light, loss and love all belong. Nina calls this felicitreza: life through grief-colored lenses, where our stories become lighthouses for one another, steady glows in the dark that say, you are not alone, and we are in this together.

This is a place where your grief is seen, your story belongs, and light still breaks through.
