We didn’t think we’d be recording again so soon after Christmas but I also wasn’t expecting such an emotional January. I tell Patrick about the unexpected, and tragic loss of both our beautiful family dogs. I reflect on how I’m trying to navigate these loses alongside my daily dose of Mum grief…(it turns out previous experience of grief doesn’t stop the hurt of new grief…). This was also all happening in the weeks leading up to the 6 year anniversary of when Mum died. It’s been a lot to say the least! I think you can hear by the speed with which I talk that there has been a lot going on in my head (I was even surprised listening back). But I think thats reflective of the intensity of 2023 so far. I enjoyed this chat a lot. It felt like a good release of whirring energy and I am also glad I could share a little about Max and Melka (our dogs). Thanks for listening xx
