In Facing the Truth of Her Losses, Sara Bareilles Embraces a Faith in Her Own Grief
Singer-Songwriter Sara Bareilles kicked off her tour on September 9 and released the documentary "Good Grief" the week prior, aiming to create space for celebratory mourning.
Bareilles revealed she is facing "a new depth of low" with mental health while navigating a three-year fertility struggle and the loss of two close friends to cancer.
She wrote "Salt Then Sour Then Sweet" with singer Brandi Carlile and the late poet Andrea Gibson, whose journey was featured in the 2025 documentary "Come See Me in the Good Light."
Surrendering to grief in its many forms, Bareilles began to perceive mourning as a "devotional practice" and a "miracle to behold" rather than something to fear.
Bareilles debuted "Home" recently on CNN Anchor Anderson Cooper's podcast "All There Is," inspired by Cooper's earlier conversation with comedian Stephen Colbert.
