Evolving Through Grief with Dr. Laura Berman

Grief doesn’t shrink with time; we grow our capacity to hold it. Today, Devi sits with Dr. Laura Berman - a therapist who has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, hosts multiple television programs, and is a national advocate for social media safety and fentanyl awareness, while also creating spaces for grieving mothers to gather and connect. Laura shares how the loss of her 16-year-old son Sammy to a fentanyl-laced drug sold via Snapchat reshaped everything: her identity, relationships, and the work she now brings to grieving families through advocacy, retreats, and community. With honesty and tenderness, Laura reframes grief as transformation, naming practices that truly help guide loved ones, specifically those of us who “don’t know what exactly to say in hard moments.

Grief doesn’t shrink with time; we grow our capacity to hold it.

Today, Devi sits with Dr. Laura Berman - a therapist who has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, hosts multiple television programs, and is a national advocate for social media safety and fentanyl awareness, while also creating spaces for grieving mothers to gather and connect.

Laura shares how the loss of her 16-year-old son Sammy to a fentanyl-laced drug sold via Snapchat reshaped everything: her identity, relationships, and the work she now brings to grieving families through advocacy, retreats, and community. 

With honesty and tenderness, Laura reframes grief as transformation, naming practices that truly help guide loved ones, specifically those of us who “don’t know what exactly to say in hard moments.
