Über diesen Titel

 Formerly the Love Drops Podcast, the Can You Just Sit With Me? Podcast was relaunched in Fall 2021 by Natasha Smith—ceritified grief educator, author, speaker, and podcaster—where she shares authentic conversations on faith, family, and grief.

This podcast was born out of a time when the world felt overwhelming—social injustice, division, and the weight of a global pandemic. It was loud. And in the midst of that noise, grief often felt overlooked. Yet, what we need most in challenging times is for someone to sit with us as we navigate loss and healing.Join me as we explore the realities of grief, finding hope in the midst of sorrow, and walking through loss with faith.

These conversations are deeply personal and inspired by my books, Can You Just Sit With Me: Healthy Grieving for the Losses of Life and Black Woman Grief: A Guide to Hope and Wholeness.
