Send us Fan Mail Who Died?? Well, this month we lost not only a game show host, a director, and movie star alligator, but also Pope Francis. . .and we chat about the ritual and nostalgia wrapped up in all of these losses.

That blunt, sometimes awkward question we’ve all encountered is the starting point for every conversation on Guess Who Died?!. Hosts Jeff and Julia, alongside producer K.C., bring more than twenty years of professional experience from their work at Olivia's House: A Grief and Loss Center for Children to these discussions, but they approach each episode with genuine curiosity rather than a clinical tone. They sit down with a different guest each week who shares their personal journey through loss and the unexpected, often messy, paths toward healing. What you’ll hear isn’t a lecture on stages of grief, but real stories-the kind that might make you laugh, likely make you cry, and will certainly make you feel less alone in your own experiences. This podcast creates a space where the universal yet isolating topic of bereavement is met with compassion, honesty, and even moments of lightness. It’s about the shared human experience of losing someone and the slow, non-linear process of figuring out how to carry that forward. Tuning in feels like joining a thoughtful, understanding conversation that acknowledges how often that very question, “Guess who died?”, punctuates our lives.
