Welcome to something I’ve been working on for a few months now, with my wonderful friend Patrick. It’s something I feel nervous to share because it’s really quite personal, but it’s also something I’m proud of. It’s an attempt to explore the minutiae of an experience I wanted to google after my Mum when I was 20 and it dawned on me that I even though I was technically ‘grieving’, I had no idea what that actually meant.
How long does it last? How does it mix with other intense feelings? Why do I feel completely fine after something so sad has just happened? The questions went on and on and on.
This episode introduces the whole Feeling Griefy series. We talk about why I decided to start a podcast, what ‘feeling griefy’ even means and why the podcast artwork is a coffee and a croissant. I even go on a slight tangent about how to make my Mum the perfect cup of tea.
If you have any thoughts, or reflections I’d love to hear them. Email me at FeelingGriefyElla@gmail.com
