Love, Faith & Spirituality in Grief
In this week’s episode, Yvette and Dionne settle in at the kitchen table—glasses cleaned, colors popped, spirits open—to explore the tender, complicated, deeply human intersection of love, faith, and spirituality in grief.
From breathwork that steadies the nervous system to the scriptures, rituals, and ancestral practices that carry us through the moments we can't carry ourselves, this conversation goes straight into the heart of what it means to stay connected when life tests us.
Yvette shares how faith held her through the unimaginable, the messages and signs that guided her healing, and the spiritual lineage that shapes her understanding of transition. Dionne opens up about losing her daughter Siwe to suicide, the messages she's received through nature, and how ritual, advocacy, and community help her stay grounded in both grief and grace.
Together they unpack:
How grief sends us searching—for meaning, for connection, for a higher energy
Why anger can block the very signs and comfort we’re longing for
The role of ritual, from candles to gardening, as a bridge between pain and peace
How faith can look different for everyone—and why respect across belief systems matters
The powerful moments of spiritual affirmation that arrive when we least expect them
And as always, the episode closes with an Aché moment, calling the names of loved ones who have transitioned—lifting them, honoring them, and holding space for listeners to do the same.
This is an episode for anyone navigating loss while trying to stay anchored in something bigger—whatever “bigger” means to you. Tender, real, and wrapped in love, it’s a reminder that even in the darkest moments, we are never alone.
Listen in, breathe with us, and feel held. Aché.
