Hosted by Julia Gallegos and Yako Shirasuna, this podcast delves into the poignant reality of losing a parent prematurely, an experience that forever altered our lives at the tender age of 21. Having found each other in the depths of our grief, we navigated the tumultuous journey of mourning while completing our final semester of college. Now, we embark on the pursuit of self-discovery and our place in this world. https://linktr.ee/griefuncensoredpodcast
