My Story: Grieving My Parents

Welcome to Dear Death Podcast...…the one no one asks for but find themselves in

My name is Dione, and I am 24 years old.

I lost my mum at 22 years old to Covid-19 and this changed my whole life forever because my mum was my best friend, and she was my everything. I then lost my dad at 23 years old to a sudden death and this was the final hit for me, and my world changed forever. My journey with grief has taught me a lot, good and bad.

This podcast has been created to normalise talking about grief and what it feels like to lose a loved one. None of us ever imagine ourselves losing a loved, yet we find ourselves being surprised with such a horrible yet a normal experience. I want to let people know that it’s okay to grieve and its okay to have conversations about it no matter how difficult and new it may seem.

I'm also here to elaborate on my experience and how I've been coping with loss. Although I don't have a check list for you on how to grieve, I will share what has and hasn't worked for me. Every two weeks or so, I'll also have special guests on this page to discuss the topic of grieving.
