Mad & Lucy Mind the Gap: Pride and Healing Hearts - Alex

Published on August 5, 2025

In the last episode of Mad & Lucy's special series, "Pride and Healing Hearts," we explore the transformative power of grief, identity, and resilience within the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

Hosts Madeleine Blanchard and Lucy Dannewitz are joined by Alex Adams, a queer funeral director who shares her deeply personal journey of navigating rejection, loss, and healing. From overcoming estrangement from family to honoring the unwavering support of her late grandfather, Alex reveals how these experiences inspired her to create the Indianapolis Queer Grief Community—a safe, affirming space for queer individuals to process grief together.

This episode is a moving reminder of the importance of finding support, creating community, and embracing the healing power of shared experiences. If you’ve ever faced challenges with belonging or finding spaces that truly understand you, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
