  • Summary

  • Cody Delistraty is a journalist and he's also a son whose mother died of cancer. These two identities intersect in his new book, The Grief Cure, which chronicles his quest to find a way to eliminate the pain of grief. After exploring Laughter Therapy, silent meditation, Breakup Bootcamp, and others avenues for grief expression, Cody landed where so many others do: realizing the "cure" for grief is allowing it to exist, while still engaging with life.

    We discuss:

    1. Who Cody was when his mom died
    2. How he used to define "successful" grief
    3. The secondary losses connected to his mother's death
    4. How his relationship to the 5 Stages of Grief evolved over time
    5. The quest to "cure" grief and the options he explored
    6. Which grief memory Cody most wished he could erase
    7. How important community can be
    8. Learning to embrace both grief and an ongoing connection with his mother
