Rachel Reichblum is the creator of the popular Instagram account @thatgoodgrief, where she curates the best grief and mental health ‘grams for her devoted community. Rachel started this account after losing both of her parents within two years to the SAME kind of cancer. (WTF, world?)
We talk grief, mental health, moving across the country after losing a loved one, and more!
Trigger Warning: We also mention suicidal ideation.
Rachel Reichblum created the Instagram handle @thatgoodgrief following the death of both of her parents from brain cancer within 14 months of each other when she was 26 and 28 years old. She chronicles quotes that resonate with her, reflections on the day-to-day with grief, and professional resources she’s found in an attempt to provide tools for others in this terrible club and to provide resources for the friends and extended family who want to help, but don’t know where to start. She currently lives in San Francisco with her husband Dan and works in tech PR.

I'm listening to the episode now and started following Rachel's instagram. My dad died of cancer 9 years ago and my mom died of cancer last month. I just turned 37. I've followed your blog for many years, I'm sorry about your mom. This sh*t is brutal.
