Today on Life With Grief I'm sitting down with Hannah Rumsey, creator of the Friends Missing Friends Podcast, to discuss the unique and often overlooked grief of losing a friend.
Hannah opens up about her personal story of losing her friend, Lauren, under tragic circumstances, and how this loss inspired her to create a space for others navigating friendship loss grief.
Together, we explore:
✨ Why friend loss grief is often minimized or misunderstood
✨ The lack of resources and support for those grieving a friend
✨ How creative expression can support the healing process
✨ The deep value of friendship and why its loss can feel so profound
✨ Disenfranchised grief around friend loss.
✨ Personal stories of our own friend losses.
This heartfelt conversation shines a light on the importance of recognizing friend grief and offers comfort, validation, and insights for anyone walking this difficult road.
If you’ve lost a close friend—or want to better support someone who has—this episode will remind you that your grief is valid, seen, and worthy of love and acknowledgement.
