Going Thru It

For better or worse, holidays are all about family, so you notice when there’s a newly empty seat at your Thanksgiving dinner. In this week’s episode, join Holly and Jill as they recap the Shakoor family’s first big “thing” since Adam’s passing. Thanksgiving in Mexico. Spoiler alert: They got thru it.

Let’s face it, living across the country from your best friend is hard. Let alone when that best friend is also your sister. Let alone when you both just lost the brother you share to cancer. In this pilot episode, we meet the Shakoor sisters, Holly and Jill Shakoor, as they share their unique sibling bond and introduce listeners to their brother Adam. Get to know his quirkiness, easy going nature and ability to love endlessly as Holly and Jill honor their brother Adam just two months after he passed.

We are Going Thru It, a weekly conversation between two sisters learning to navigate their own grief after the recent loss of their brother, Adam, who died of stage IV colorectal cancer. Born 11 years apart and currently living on opposite ends of the country, Holly and Jill Shakoor remain each other's best friend and confidant. Like a cathartic conversation with your best friend, or for some, an actual therapy session, Going Thru It will serve as a platform for human connection, exploring the many layers of loss and love. So come along on this journey with two honest, sharp, semi soulful and empathetically entertaining sisters as they process collective family grief in real time.
