​​Author and comedian Rebecca Soffer desperately turned to the internet for help when she was in her early 30s after her mother was killed in a car crash and her father suddenly died of a heart attack. Nothing she found was helpful for her, so she made something new: Modern Loss. Claire sits down with Rebecca to talk through the many ways the internet can change the way we grieve, and how Rebecca found support, expressed herself, and created community in her life, on and offline.
