“I found your episode on our traditions surrounding grief (“Life, Loss and Libations”) a moving celebration of life and our culture. It took me home, made me think of my mother. My mother was raised by her great grandmother, a strong black woman whose parents survived the Civil War. Including her great grandchildren, my mother is a living link spanning eight generations. Her stories paint a picture of our family’s grit, resilience and dignity. Your episode helped to put my mother’s stories into a broader cultural context. You helped me see her extraordinary life with even more appreciation. Thank you. I am recently widowed and was deeply moved.”
