Rewind Episode: When Grief Gets Loud with Sal and Im from Good Mourning.
Today we’re rewinding to one of the most downloaded episodes of The Days That Follow - and for good reason. I was joined by Sal and Im, the brilliant duo behind the Good Mourning podcast, for a refreshingly honest and unexpectedly funny chat about grief, growth, and the mess in between.
Sal and Im both lost their mums suddenly and just months apart. In the thick of heartbreak, they turned to each other - and what followed was not only deep friendship, but a podcast that has created a global community of grievers who are tired of whispering about loss.
In this episode, we unpack what grief actually looks like behind the filters and platitude. The awkward moments, the gallows humour, and the WTFs no one prepares you for. How Good Mourning was born from pain, connection and a need to be real and the ways grief reshaped their identity, purpose and friendships. This one is all about the power of talking about loss openly - even when it's uncomfortable.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt broken by loss,or just a little lost in the after. Sal and Im bring the warmth, wisdom and wit you didn’t know you needed, and they prove that even in the hardest moments, connection can be life-changing.
