In this weeks episode Anniki focuses on grief and how to survive it. Having lost her dad unexpectedly three months ago, it’s a subject dear to her. Unfortunately it’s also true that grief becomes something we’re more likely to have to face up to as we grow older (and as we continue through this corona crisis). Anniki talks to Cariad Lloyd who hosts the award winning podcast – ‘Griefcast’ – and they discuss how there’s no ‘right or wrong’ way to grieve, how grief never truly disappears and how every loss is different. If you’ve lost someone, there’s ultimately no set of rules in terms of how you have to behave or how you’ll feel on any given day and it’s all about being kind to yourself and taking each situation as it comes.
