What Happens When You Lose a Parent as a Kid? An Artist’s Story

Grief changes, but it never disappears. For illustrator and author Jordan Sondler, losing her dad at 14 shaped both her art and her understanding of what it means to carry loss through life. In this conversation, she shares how creativity became a language for grief, how memory shifts over time, and why she co-founded Dead Parent Club, an audio-only community where people can show up just as they are. Jordan’s story is honest, thoughtful, and full of the kind of connection that reminds us we don’t have to grieve in isolation.
