Alexandra Breckenridge Shares her Grief
Episode 10
Thursday, 20 November, 2025
In the final episode of Season 2, Shoshana sits down with her friend Alexandra Breckenridge — known to many as Mel Monroe from the hit Netflix series Virgin River. Alex has experienced many losses, on and off the screen, and she shares her experience as a way of letting others know that they’re not alone in their grief. Shoshana also speaks with Dr. Wendy Lichtenthal, a clinical psychologist who specializes in helping people navigate loss. Wendy doesn’t view grief as something you “move past,” but as something you learn to live alongside — something that shifts, reshapes, and evolves as you do.Join us on Instagram @beforewegopodcast for more stories, behind-the-scenes moments, and reflections on living and dying.Thank you to our Sponsors:Quince: Visit www.quince.com for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.Uncommon Goods: To get 15% off your next gift, go to www.uncommongoods.comStoryworth: Save $10 or more during their Holiday sale when you go to www.storyworth.com/beforewegoAir Doctor: Head to www.AirDoctorPro.com and use promo code BEFOREWEGO to get UP TO $300 off your purchase.This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
