Oh, Good Grief! Thu, 14 May 2026 15:42:53 -0700 https://ohgoodgrief.buzzsprout.com en-us © 2026 Oh, Good Grief! yes 76e79cb3-0c66-5ea7-800c-d2f28fa8a8ac Taylor Parise episodic false Oh, Good Grief! is a weekly podcast about grief — but not the solemn, polished, “careful of our words” version. This show is loud. It’s messy. It’s honest. Because grief is loud, and messy, and let’s be honest… it sucks. Let’s talk about it! 


Every week, Taylor Parise will bring on a guest with lived experience in loss to have real, unfiltered conversations about what grief actually feels like — the awkward parts, the anger, the humor, the things people don’t say out loud.


The first 45 minutes are interview-style, diving straight into the nitty gritty. No tiptoeing and no clichés.


The end of our episodes will be dedicated to funny stories, chaotic memories, and the moments of laughter that somehow exist alongside heartbreak — because grief doesn’t cancel humor. In fact, humor, for me, has helped in the healing process.

In the very first solo episode of Oh, Good Grief!, host Taylor Parise opens up about one of the stranger and more complicated parts of grief: dating after losing a parent. From awkward conversations to overthinking when and how to share such a huge part of her life, Taylor reflects on the emotional weight that grief can bring into new relationships.

She talks about how losing someone so significant can take up constant brain space, even in moments that are supposed to feel exciting or lighthearted. Taylor also explores the guilt and hesitation that can come with telling someone new about your loss — and the fear of placing something so heavy onto a person you’re still getting to know.

This episode dives into the complicated intersection of grief, intimacy, and connection, and what it’s like trying to build relationships while carrying such a life-altering loss with you every day.

Oh, Don't Think About It! In this deeply personal episode, host Taylor Parise sits down with her friend Makela Sorney for a conversation about the long-term reality of loss and how grief continues to evolve over time. Makela lost her dad when she was 18, and because the two were not on speaking terms when he passed, her grief has also been shaped by guilt, unresolved emotions, and complicated feelings that don’t always get talked about openly.

Together, Taylor and Makela discuss what it’s like to carry grief years later, the ways it can unexpectedly resurface, and how loss can change your relationships, identity, and outlook on life. They also touch on spirituality after loss, signs from loved ones, and Makela’s belief that her dad has shown up for her more in death than he did while he was alive.

Reflective with sprinkled with humor throughout, this conversation explores the complicated side of grief — the parts that are messy, ongoing, and impossible to tie up neatly.

Oh, Mother's Day! In this week's episode, host Taylor Parise is joined by her friend Caitlin Wheeland for a conversation about navigating friendship through and the strange ways loss can continue to show up years later. 

Both Taylor and Caitlin lost their moms in their early twenties, but Caitlin experienced that loss a decade earlier — making her a source of comfort and dark humor when Taylor began navigating her own grief. Together, they talk about how grief can reshape your identity and the unexpected triggers that can catch you off guard when you least expect it.

Following their honest conversation, paired with just the right amount of inappropriate humor, Caitlin shares her favorite, and final, memory with her mom, while Taylor talks about a recent run-in with a professor who was wearing her mom's... lets call it "death dress."

Oh, Think Before You Type! In this honest episode, host Taylor Parise is joined by her sister, Amber Howard, for a conversation that blends grief, humor and real-life perspective. Despite their 18-year age gap, the two share a deep bond shaped by the experience of losing their mom to cancer and the very different ways they’ve navigated that loss.

Together, they unpack the well-meaning but often unhelpful things people say when someone is grieving. From phrases like “RIP” to comparisons and comments about being “strong,” Taylor and Amber explore why these words can miss the mark — and what empathy can look like instead.

But this episode isn’t just about what not to say. It’s also a celebration of their mom’s life, filled with funny, personal stories that capture what she meant to the two sisters.

Raw, relatable, and at times unexpectedly funny, this conversation offers insight and a reminder that grief doesn’t look the same for everyone.

I’m your host, Taylor Parise — and we’re talking about the stuff people avoid: grief, devastation, and death… but in an honest and sometimes unavoidably hilarious way.

I’ll be joined by fellow members of the “dead parent club” as we unpack topics like what not to say to grieving friends (hint: “RIP” isn’t enough) and what it’s like to date while grieving — because it's not like that's not already complicated.
