If you've ever felt like the "Death of the Party" because grief is part of your story, then this episode is for you.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Melanie Wilson, the founder of Death of the Party, a community where the conversation on creating spaces for those touched by loss—especially within the LGBTQ+ community and those in solidarity—can transform the experience of grief.
Melanie and I discuss how critical it is to have a community when facing grief, something that’s often overlooked in our day-to-day environments, especially at work. We also discuss what workplaces can do to better support employees when this happens.
Melanie shares insights from her own journey of loss, highlighting how the pandemic has reshaped our need for connection and the unique role that online platforms and in person events can play in bridging the gap. Tune in and you'll hear firsthand her experience on experiencing two deaths in public, one of a stranger & the other, her coworker, and how she navigated that! You also don't want to miss the once in a lifetime full circle moment she experienced after her father passed away.
In this episode, we also shout out our friends at Reimagine and The Dinner Party. If you're looking for community specifically in NY, then please connect with Melanie and Death of the Party and follow them on Instagram.
