Her story took a heartfelt turn during the COVID pandemic when she had to care for her ailing mother and this experience fueled her passion to write, Grief & Grits, a book that not only chronicles the extraordinary life of her mom, but also lends her compassionate voice to those in need and treating everyone with the human dignity they deserve.

Good Grief Podcast

When a declining parent needs help, it creates a delicate balance of care and acceptance. Marsha Gray Hill thought she had found that balance, even as her mother began to show signs of dementia. But then, COVID ripped the rug out from under her, making it impossible to support her mother as she would have liked. In the end, the pandemic was what ended her mother's life. In the process, Marsha learned too much about attitudes towards elders, inadequate support structures and a lack of understanding of what it takes to be a caregiver. In sharing the story of her mother's life, she has given us a window into the lives of so many who died, and are still dying, from that terrible illness. She implores us to believe our society can do better!.  Listen here.

"GRIEF & GRITS" BOOK QUOTES

"Life moves on with or without you. It’s not about fairness. It just is what it is."


- MARSHA GRAY HILL
AUTHOR, GRIEF & GRITS


"Caring for an elderly parent is a specific stage of life that most people would rather not talk about."


- MARSHA GRAY HILL
AUTHOR, GRIEF & GRITS


"The greatest tragedy would be 
to have lived through the age of COVID 
and to learn nothing as a community."

- MARSHA GRAY HILL
AUTHOR, GRIEF & GRITS


"No one talks about what it’s like to
become the caretaker for someone 
who once took care of you."

- MARSHA GRAY HILL
AUTHOR, GRIEF & GRITS


"When I think about the loneliness of grief, I can’t help but think about Mama. How many times was she alone in the midst of sadness, losing her parents, her husband, her childhood friends... And
how many times did I fly right by her, pressing on in my own rhythm of daily life? She must have felt just as isolated and misunderstood as I do. But how could I possibly have understood that?"


- MARSHA GRAY HILL
AUTHOR, GRIEF & GRITS


"Our modern American society is a society that
doesn’t value the elderly, and it’s important to think about why that is. Back in the day, the elders of the town or village would have been the center of knowledge, the accumulation of experience, culture, and wisdom collected through the ages... 
Senior citizens were valued; they had a concrete role in society."


- MARSHA GRAY HILL
AUTHOR, GRIEF & GRITS


"It’s impossible to say what the family’s role should be when it comes to caring for the elderly. Everyone’s situation is different, and when it comes to complications regarding resources, medical care, or even time and space to accommodate someone else’s needs, there’s no easy answer."


- MARSHA GRAY HILL
AUTHOR, GRIEF & GRITS


"Change always comes with complications, and sometimes the most powerful consequences are 
the ones we don’t consider. In our insta-connected, 2-day delivery world, who takes care of the people who once took care of us? ... If it isn’t the family, what does that mean for future generations?"
