Grief Between the Pages

Grief Between the Pages is a podcast exploring grief, loss, identity, love, trauma, healing, and emotional resilience through the lens of books, romantasy, fantasy worlds, and pop culture. Hosted by psychologist and grief educator Dr. Heather Taylor, this podcast dives into the emotional themes hiding inside our favorite stories and asks why fictional worlds often help us understand very real grief. From romantasy and fantasy series to emotionally devastating character arcs, fandom culture, found family, heartbreak, survival, and emotionally chaotic pop culture moments, Grief Between the Pages blends thoughtful analysis, humor, psychology, grief literacy, and community in a way that feels validating, insightful, and deeply human. If you’ve ever cried over a fictional character, emotionally attached to a morally gray shadow daddy, or realized a fantasy novel somehow understood your grief better than people in real life, you’re in the right place. Because grief is everywhere. Even between the pages.
