absolutely love this show!!!

She should receive an 0scar for this performance. Apparently, she wrote the script. This is Wanda Arnett. Courtney completely fabricated 90% of this story. How she found this type of humor in her father’s death is beyond me? Jim was an intelligent man. He was educated enough to send her to all of the top schools and yet she speaks about him in this manner. It’s disheartening. Her recollection of the facts of his death are very wrong. If she saw a therapist, my suggestion is to see another one because it didn’t work. I actually felt a little sorry for her. Jim loved Courtney with all his heart. People divorce, fall out of love with their spouse but they still love their children. He loved me unconditionally and Courtney could not accept it.

One of the biggest feelings of grief is isolation, especially if it’s due to tragic circumstances. I lost both of my parents before I turned 30 and neither made it to their 60th birthday. Listening to Bree and others talk about their experiences strangely gives me comfort, levity and a feeling that I’m not in fact alone. For anyone that has lost a parent - in particular at a young age, I couldn’t recommend this enough.

I lost my dad 9 months ago. It has been hell on earth for me. Being able to listen to these podcasts has carved a little space out for me to go to when I need to be alone and to be in my pain. It’s cathartic to hear what everyone else has gone through and I can relate to so much. I am also an adopted child and so I can really understand her perspective on many things. It is inspiring me to get my story out of me, one day when it’s time.

This podcast came out about 3 weeks after losing my dad to cancer. It has helped to cope more than I thought it would. Thank you for the podcast, I love it!!

I love this. I lost my husband three months ago and it’s nice to hear how other people go through being in “the worst club ever”. I lost my mother 20 plus years ago and it doesn’t get easier. Very insightful, too!

So dumb

Loving these interesting conversations about the loss of loved ones. To hear others talking about it in the context of typical friendly conversations is such a powerful way to help normalize grief and death. One of my favorite podcasts!

Both my folks passed last year, so I can relate to all I’ve heard on this podcast. It’s comforting to hear that others feel as I do: The good, the bad & the ugly. Misery loves company & laughter really is the best medicine. Thanks so much for this!

I personally do not have dead parents. I know this is a sensitive subject for many people. I do love this podcast. Past the first episode it gets better. It gives me insight on people who have gone through this loss. I like that there is elements of humor mixed with raw emotion and sadness. It’s realistic.

I had a harder time when I first started listening to this - certain things hit me the wrong way, such as the laughing, the language at times, unnecessary crude joking, etc. I couldn’t help but wonder if it’s trying too hard to be “cool” or “relatable.” BUT, I continued to listen and got past all of that. Had I not, I would have missed out on a LOT of beauty in the people’s stories, feeling connected to so many similar feelings, gifts I had not realized, and an even greater appreciation for my own story. It is so important. Knowing that my own children will be going through this one day, I’m hoping I can get them to listen to this, as well. Hearing these experiences stimulates (and can encourage) one to think and evaluate their own - whether that experience has been in the past or is yet to come - so incredibly valuable. I have grown to love this podcast and can’t wait for each one that comes out!!

This show is great! It’s really refreshing to hear others talk about losing a parent with candor and humor. I hope you’ll get some guests who have lost their mothers as well. I feel like it can be a slightly different kind of loss and I’d love to hear others experiences.

My father died when I was 16, and no one gets it. It’s so comforting to hear people and their perspectives. It helps me feel that I am not alone or crazy. It’s not super depressing either which is nice. Thank you for putting this out into the world.

My dad is dead and this podcast is boring me to death.

Love the concept of this podcast; however, felt disappointed with the interviewer/interviews. Only early days so I’ll pop back in a few months 😊.

This is an interesting funny podcast and it’s nice that all these famous people get to come and talk about their special parents. I can’t help but selfishly think about people like me who didn’t have such a great dad, but, he was always around, and now I’m mad at him after his death. Maybe you do a podcast called The Darker Side of Death.

I had to stop after the first two minutes. Flirtatious giggling made me sick. I was hoping for mature, insightful conversation. Disappointing.

I’ll start by saying this podcast might not be for everyone. But I found this SO cathartic and refreshing to hear people talk about death so frankly and not tip toeing around the subject. I lost my dad at a young age and my mom was diagnosed with cancer shortly after. Those experiences shaped who I am today and there are very few people that I have to relate to (as I’m still quite young and most of my friends haven’t lost a parent). It was really nice to hear others discussing their experiences, even if they experienced their trauma differently than I did. Thank you 💕

Shooting the shot with random people about death.

This podcast is incredible! I'm so grateful for the conversation and it feels like I'm not along after losing my father last October. Thank you so much for this...so needed!!!

Both of the episodes are something you just don’t see very often and it’s very heartwarming to feel seen. Not to mention learning that Reggie Watts is that transcendental, what a great episode. Thanks!

I lost both of my parents within a year of each other. Even though it’s been 5 years, I feel stuck in my anger & grief. I was my mom’s caretaker for years; she had Alzheimer’s. I loved my mom so much, but I’m so angry at my brothers for coming in at the end & acting like they did anything. And they subjected me to a memorial service for her that ended up being a Jehovah’s Witness elder preaching at me, telling me how I’ll never see my mom because I’m a sinner. Ok, enough of my rambling, hopefully this podcast will help me out of my anger & grief.

Amazing podcast. This topic is very needed and can definitely be beneficial to all people whether they have lost a parent or not. Honest, pure, touching, morbid and funny. Relatable for all.

My parents are both dead, and I didn’t know I needed to listen to this, and I am glad I did. I find it therapeutic

Love this show. Recently I lost my sister and both parents to a terrible tragedy. I’m still working on recovering but it’s hard. I just started listening to this show and it’s really great. I’m going to a Swedish commune this summer with my friends, boyfriend, and an exchange student from there. I’m so excited to have so much fun there and I’ll listen to this podcast on the way there!

This podcast is a blessing for me. I lost my Dad just over a year ago, and it’s been brutal. People are terrified to talk about it death is scary af to them (as it was to me before I lost my parent). This podcast discusses all the crappy parts of the death and dying process that you can relate to when you’ve lost a parent. The hosts discuss topics in a light way that I find very therapeutic, such as hospice, feeding tubes, etc that you can’t talk about in the real world, but need to. Great job!

I can’t wait to hear more from this podcast. My mom died a week from today 9/3 of 2013 of lung cancer when I was 24 years old. Most people are sympathetic but it becomes obvious pretty quickly that people without that experience don’t really like to listen to me discuss her or my feelings about it at any length

I’m looking forward to this podcast and hearing everyone’s insight on the subject

I'm so excited for this podcast! My mom passed away from breast cancer in 2015, when I was 20. This kind of trauma is so funny and also awkward and I love hearing other peoples' perspectives. And yes, the dead parents club!!! And dealing with my dad dating people so soon after my mom died! So much weirdness and pain. Thanks for making this. 😊

This is exact same feelings I have as a 55 woman who lost her father ( well not lost, i wish he was lost).... He died July 14, 2018 @ 9:50 pm. My daughter told me to listen to the trailer. Im glad I did. Dads Dead

An important conversation we should all be having. Looking forward to hearing the rest :)
