Episode Details

In season two’s last episode, singer-songwriters Katie Phillips and Karen Joy Brown demonstrate the obvious connection between the “sixth stage” of grief and songwriting. Carefully separating the false platitude of attributing meaning to a horrible or tragic event, they support the perspective of discovering a new way of living with the loss and creating new purpose from the ashes.

Features original songs, Paper Mothers and Believer in relation to the topic.
