When people try to tell you how to live your best life in this your new normal

With special guest @katgriefcoach Kat is also a member of “the club no one wants to be a member of”, has her own podcast and is a grief coach. It was great talking and laughing when I couldn’t see how that would even be possible at this time... but there is the old adage, “if you don’t laugh you’ll cry...” Conversing, laughing, reminiscing, sharing, all wrapped up with a little cheekiness. Talking death and all that seems to come with it. In this episode we are discussing how other people can tr...

Today is your birthday

Working my way through my mothers first posthumous birthday since her death 5 months ago. How it feels to have a day meant for celebrating another year shout so loudly that there is not another year to be had. How it feels when others around you, even close family, just don’t get the affect that this day can have. How you acknowledge, or honour the day for you.

Music and Food for the Soul

When that song, that smell, that taste, takes you back and how you handle it.

The day I could finally speak after our new normal began

This is the moment I could put into words the feelings that churned inside me and the mixed emotions after a mothers death. Hopefully this episode will resonate with someone out there following their own loss and working to understand the feelings that they have and the void they’ve been dropped in.
