Episode 28: Finding The Beginning Of Your Story With Claire Bidwell Smith

Episode 28: Finding The Beginning Of Your Story With Claire Bidwell Smith

This week’s guest is writer, author, and grief therapist Claire Bidwell Smith. Claire and I discuss losing both of her parents by the age of 25, the memoir (The Rules Of Inheritance) that followed, her take on that book becoming a movie, and what happened when she started examining what happens after we die for her new book, After This.

Oh! And listen to the outro after the interview. I have a little idea of something I want to do together…

    Jessica,
    I loved your Podcast#28 with Claire Bidwell Smith. We’ve been fans of Claire’s since ‘The Rules of Inheritance’ debuted. Claire is not only a great writer but such an enormously well grounded person. Her daughters are of almost identical age to two of our grandchildren. Their adventures and interactions offer incites into the lives of our daughter, son and our grandchildren. She seems such an extraordinary parent.

    Thank you for bringing Claire to life on your podcast. We’ve signed up to be part of your site. All the best with your venture and Cheers.

    Jessica!

    I loved this episode! I love that it touched on what happens after we die. I just think everyone has had some experience or thought on the subject, and I love hearing everyone’s perspective.

    I also can totally relate to your fear of your hubby dying. This PLAGUES me. My biggest hurdle is when he is on a flight (which he is right now…!). I have even tracked his flight and watched the little plane-shaped dot cross over the digital map. It makes me feel CA-RAZY.

    Thanks for putting together such a great episode, as always! 🙂

      Kali, so glad you liked this episode. Thank you for sharing your anxiety too. Getting it out there helps, a little, right? Sorta. I just did that plane tracking thing on Sunday. It’s comforting to know other people do it too. Thanks for listening and sharing!

    I just have to say I’m so happy to have been introduced to Claire Bidwell Smith via your excellent podcast. I am an only child myself and one of my greatest fears is losing my parents. It’s so wonderful to hear her soothing voice so well translated to paper in her new book which I am close to finishing. Very much looking forward to discussion in the non-book club book club in an upcoming episode.

    Thanks again and keep doing what you’re doing!

    xoxo
