Sharing the stories of grief helped me feel less alone and Shelby is the best in the business. When I lost my my mom in December 2019 I was lost, going through alcoholism again and dealing my mental illness taking control. Shelby’s podcast and books has been a life saver. Thank you Shelby...Read full review »

Shelby does such an amazing job in the grief space. My sister passed almost two years ago, I struggled and found her podcast, and many others, during that time. She is the only one I still listen too because she gives so much back. ❤️

This podcast was a lifeline in the darkest part of my life. Shelby is warm, wise and compassionate, and her interviews with a wide variety of people dealing with all kinds of loss are fascinating and so helpful.

As a 38 year old Mother, who lost a 17 year old, DIAMOND of a Son, only Child, Aspyn, just over a year ago.. I am taken back by the self indulgence of the guest speaker. Coming off as special due to recovery of viewing death, to me, the listener. This episode urges me to hear recordings from 8...Read full review »

I so enjoy every episode of Coming Back and especially appreciated being a recent guest. Shelby is very skilled at guiding the conversation while staying open to whatever most needs to be said. Thank you for this show-it’s so needed!

We all experience grief. I never remember learning about grief. I don’t remember being taught anything about grief. This podcast facilitates the sharing of experiences with grief and by listening we can all learn. My children’s father is under hospice care. Watching my children deal with this is...Read full review »

I absolutely love this show. But had to stop listening to Linda Findlay on 9/5/2018 after losing count of how many times she said no one acknowledged or remembered her daughter. And then went on about her husband’s support. Her husband is someone. She needs get over this 28 year narrative that...Read full review »

Shelby’s voice is incredibly soothing and her heart so intuitive. Basically, this podcast is like soup for the soul. Better yet, it’s smooth like butter, (and I love me some butter.) Her guests range from total experts to your everyday average humans sharing their amazing stories of coming back...Read full review »

Shelby’s show inajés my heart feel at ease. She is so calm, intuitive, and genuine that it feels like she is my friend! I highly recommend this show, whether you’re dealing with immediate grief or want to exercise your mind and heart to handle just about any tough situation. Love!

Congratulations Shelby!! I'm so thankful to have found your podcast and you are so wonderful at it. Sometimes when grief has me in a stranglehold I listen to your podcast and without realising it I feel myself take a breath.... I guess holding it in is my default! Thank you for doing this...Read full review »

I found this podcast a year after suffering a major loss. I was desperate for a way to feel better. Shelby and her soothing voice helped me find a path to action. While I’m not yet through my loss, I know where I need to go in order to get there. I am endlessly thankful for Shelby and what she...Read full review »

What a caring, compassionate person this podcaster is! I have listened to the first four episodes and am now also knee deep in reading some of the good books that Shelby Forsythia endorsed, (but she didn’t say we “should” read them, because she’s sensitive to the fact that nobody grieving needs...Read full review »

I lost my husband in 2014 and have had a hard time talking about my grief with friends and family, especially now that almost four years has passed. Shelby and her guests make me feel like I'm not alone and remind me that there are people out there who are still grieving old losses. Her voice and...Read full review »

Shelby has helped me find sanity in a very scary time

All my life, I have struggled with what is normal or not normal, how to deal with the whole process or help others. This podcast lets me know that everything I do or feel or think is my normal and helps me learn how to use what is going on.

I've recently discovered this Podcast and the word I keep using to describe it is magical. My original interest in it was because I am a family mediator and was interested in the loss through separation at the end of a relationship angle. But I have got so much more than that out of it both...Read full review »

I'm sorry but it's really boring. The duration is 1 hour. At 26 mins the guest was still not able to speak. I don't know what happened but the host talks a lot about herself and totally unrelated or unnecessary. She should have just do an intro and introduce the guest and go directly to the...Read full review »

Shelby provides helpful insights by talking about grief in an open, honest way and giving terms to feelings that are sometimes difficult to describe. She confirms that ALL kinds of loss (divorce, death, job loss, breakup, moving) are worth grieving. "Coming Back" encourages the griever to...Read full review »

This podcast is a recent discovery for me, and I love how it approaches the theme of grief and loss from a variety of different perspectives, including guest interviews with people who have experienced loss in their lives. This is incredibly useful because everyone deals with grief and loss...Read full review »

One of the most impressionable pieces of this podcast for me is the healing feeling I get from Shelby's voice. The tone, energy, and pitch immediately relax me and open me up to the messages she and her guests share. I love the variety of the episodes, and the honesty and openness that flows...Read full review »

Shelby's soulful presence and advice are a like a soothing balm for anyone who has experienced loss. Words can't take the pain away, but Shelby's can at least articulate the depth and multi-facets of grief and loss. It's not always easy to find and seek out resources for grieving,...Read full review »

This is the podcast I never knew I needed! I've been telling my girlfriends how much people are affected by the bad things that happen to them and this podcast just seems to get that. Grief is more than death. Love that Shelby name-drops other resources besides her podcast and her advice on...Read full review »

Shelby is a unique voice in helping people to come back from their stories of loss through deep dialogue, invaluable resources, and love.

Coming Back is a remedy for anyone who has experienced the grief that comes with loss. Shelby Forsythia not only articulates feelings that are difficult to put into words, but uses this gift to bring others together to do the same. You may have recently suffered a devastating loss, or perhaps you...Read full review »
