Dealing with death with Host of The Bereavement Room Podcast, Callsuma Ali

Bengalis of New York

Season 3 - Episode 15: From my own experiences, when I've had grief moments, the Bangladeshi perspective is “oh, be strong, and just pray” but we don't really talk about our emotions or feelings. That's something that I really struggle with because, yeah, I can go and pray, but I need to have an open conversation about what's happening.

I worked in the corporate world for like over a decade. Then things changed. I started training in the therapy field, and I started doing bereavement training. I essentially changed my career, and I now work in bereavement in my daytime job for a charity and I run the podcast on the side in my spare time or my days off.

It's great that you see a lot of desi kids that pursue their passion. Their parents are hesitant initially, but then once they start doing well, because you know, people always say that if you follow your passions, you end up being successful. A lot of people just follow them. So after a while you end up doing well and making money, then your parents just come around.
