Griefland With Rachel Blatt

Griefland is a podcast about what grief actually does to us, not how to get over it.Hosted by Rachel Blatt, a widowed mother of two boys, Griefland was born after she lost her husband Dave to cancer in 2022. Left as a solo parent, she found herself asking questions she couldn't stop turning over: Will they be okay? Am I enough? What will they miss that I can't give them?This podcast explores how early loss shapes the people we become. Not through clinical frameworks or tidy stages, but through honest, human conversation. Rachel brings her own story alongside the stories of others living in grief, and looks at how loss echoes across a lifetime. From childhood into adulthood, across generations, and into the art and music we leave behind.Griefland is for three kinds of people: those who lost a parent early, those raising children through loss, and those who love someone carrying grief. If any of that is you, you belong here.
