Summary
In season two’s last episode, singer-songwriters Katie Phillips and Karen Joy Brown demonstrate the obvious connection between the “sixth stage” of grief and songwriting. Carefully separating the false platitude of attributing meaning to a horrible or tragic event, they support the perspective of discovering a new way of living with the loss and creating new purpose from the ashes. Features original songs, Paper Mothers and Believer in relation to the topic. Like this show? Please give us a 5 star rating on Apple and leave a review– even one sentence helps!
