Grief Between the Pages https://griefbetweenthepages.podbean.com 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.

Before we dive into any books, host Dr. Heather Taylor shares the story behind this show. From dreaming about Scholastic book fairs to working at Barnes and Noble twice, to filling out library science applications when her brother Garrett died suddenly; this episode traces the path from lifelong reader to grief psychologist and explains why those two identities have never actually been separate.

Because reading has been Dr. Taylor's number one coping strategy her whole life. And the books we love, the ones we stay up too late reading and press into the hands of everyone we know, are full of grief. All of them.

In this episode you'll hear about the gap this show is designed to fill: the grief living inside the fantasy, romantasy, and fiction everyone is obsessed with right now, and what happens when we finally name it.

Grief Between the Pages is a spin-off of the Grief is the New Normal podcast. We're starting with the Maasaverse (ACOTAR, Crescent City, and Throne of Glass) and going wherever the books take us next.

If a book has ever wrecked you emotionally and you didn't know what to do with that feeling, this show is for you.
