Where's The Grief?

Where's The Grief?

Jordon Ferber

Where’s the Grief is a weekly podcast about loss and grief in everyday life that somehow manages to be consistently funny, surprisingly insightful and easily absorbed. It’s a show that isn’t afraid to face some of the most difficult questions of what it ultimately means to be human, while finding the ever-present comedy in our day-to-day truths, and some of the things we all fear. In each episode, host Jordon Ferber interviews comedians, actors, writers, and others who have experienced tragic loss—not just of loved ones, but of jobs, homes, security and familiarity—and are making their way through to the other side. Ferber himself is no stranger to grief, having lost his younger brother to a car accident at the age of 21. Drawing on his own experience, as well as his 20+ years of work as a standup comedian in NYC—which can be tragic, in and of itself—Ferber brings insight, pathos and humor to his role as host. All the while, exhibiting camaraderie with his guests, putting them at ease and making the show surprisingly enjoyable for listeners.

Where's The Grief? - Episode 70 - Haley Harris-Bloom/GriefGuide
play

11/08/18 • 70 min

In this first Skype interview for the podcast, I had a lengthly conversation with ER nurse Haley Harris-Bloom about her development of a new app to help individuals navigate their own unique grief processes.

After the death of two of her cousins and her best friend in a short span, Haley began to research the different methods of coping with grief and loss only to find a dearth in literature and support that was specific to her needs, which ultimately lead to her deciding to collect all the helpful elements into one interactive App that helps one deal with the day to day self-care that is essential in the face of a loss.

The App itself, GriefGuide, is still in it's initial KickStarter Phase.

In this episode, I sat down with comedian Lori Sommer! Lori initially reached out to me to talk about the loss of the love of her life, and as life would have it, just two weeks prior to our interview the comedy world lost one of our own -- Poppi Kramer died unexpectedly and left so many of us wondering how to move forward.

Lori and I talk about the importance of community, of looking for silver linings, and how much it means to be able to have a place to express one's feelings.

Lori performs regularly all over the city, but can often be found at the new Westside Comedy Club - Check out their upcoming events to see her.

She also performs regularly with Bon Bon Burlesque! Follow them on FB to find out more!

Where's The Grief? - Live From the 2018 TCF Conference
play

08/10/18 • 71 min

In this special episode, I report from the 41st National Compassionate Friends Conference in St. Louis, Missouri.

The Compassionate Friends is an international self-help support group that provides resources and to families who have lost a child, a grandchild or a sibling. As a bereaved sibling myself, it is the national conference and my local meetings that were the most helpful part of my healing process, and ultimately spurred me to do this podcast in the first place.

This episode features conversations with Zander Sprague, Garrett McCormick and Heather Horsely.

Zander has a podcast of his own focused on sibling grief called The Lemonade Stand, as well as a book about sibling loss called "Making Lemonade." Find his podcast and his book at ZanderSprague.com

Heather Horsely runs the Open To Hope Foundation with her family. Her sister Heidi and her mother Gloria are the faces of Open to Hope, but Heather also plays an integral role in producing a TV and Radio show, as well as countless articles and other resources for people dealing with loss. Go to OpenToHope.com to get the Hope YOU need.

The Compassionate Friends has local chapters all over the country, as well as a number of closed Facebook groups dedicated to specific types of loss. Go to CompassionateFriends.org to see if there's a chapter near you!
