Charlamagne Tha God opens up about his lifelong avoidance of grief, rooted in childhood trauma, a fear-based upbringing, and unprocessed loss—including the suicides of close friends and a cousin.

Travis Barker, drummer for Blink-182, reflects on the profound impact of early loss — his mother’s death at 13 and surviving a near-fatal plane crash that killed his closest friends — and how decades of unprocessed grief shaped his life, music, and eventual healing through breath work and fatherhood.
David Frum and Danielle Crittenden, longtime journalists and married partners, reflect on the devastating loss of their eldest daughter, Miranda, who died at 32 from complications of a brain tumor.
