Our Curious AmalgamWhat's the Harm?

That Grief Relief PodcastEp. 31 - Jody Day from Gateway WomenJody, aka the 'Beyonce' of childless women, was just brilliant from the very start. As always, I knew nothing of her story, her journey or her disenfranchised grief, but she kindly shared all. Including why she's childless as opposed to child-free and her mission to helps other by creating Gateway Women.
Oh if you were born after say 1990 and/or are not from the UK, I would recommend Googling "Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen" ahead of time!

He was a bit lost and confused, so googled how to cope with the loss of a parent. Discovering that there wasn’t a huge amount available for young people, Joe decided to start his own podcast, giving young people a place to talk and share their stories.
As much as I love Joe for the good things he’s doing for young people in the grief community, I do question his life choices as I discover during this episode that he legi...2021-07-2053 minThat Grief Relief PodcastEp. 29 - Emma Ward aka @thegirlwithgriefEmma & I ‘met’ on Instagram and I was instantly drawn to how open she was with her story (and how wonderfully aesthetic her Instagram account is, not jealous at all!)
Emma was just 15 when her mum died suddenly and far too soon; she was just 42 years old. Emma, with a very level head on her relatively young shoulders, decided she was going to be strong for the whole family. This was all going swimmingly until she went to uni and things came crashing down. Emma took her coping mechanism from drinking to journaling to b...2021-07-1338 minThat Grief Relief PodcastEp. 28 - Nadim SafieddineI was connected with Nadim on LinkedIn (how professional are we?!) as he writes a lot about his grief journey after suffering big losses as a young adult. We covered plenty of topics; TikTok, moving countries, FRIENDS, 'adulting', therapy, Les Mills, blogging, Costa vs Starbucks, oh and of course dead parents!
Nadim was so easy to talk to, so much so that a couple times in this episode the podcast-er became the podcast-ee and he was the one asking all the questions! Another great episode (even if I do say so myself!), but of course...2021-07-061h 01That Grief Relief PodcastEp. 27 - Crystal DrakeOkay, first off… we had a few Zoom issues, so please bear with it :) I approached Crystal via Instagram as she was so open about her grief. I was taking back slightly as she was sooooo excited because she said she has been trying to share her story for years… even on TikTok like all the cool kids do!
Crystal has experienced so much grief; she has lost many loved ones including her estranged mother, she watched her grandmother suffer terribly with Alzheimer's and she also had to have a hysterectomy at the age of 35!

Jas wanted to share his story as he is a huge advocate of talking, talking, talking to make things a little bit better.
Sharing how he has dealt with (and is still dealing with) his grief, Jas admits that humour plays a huge part and although culturally that doesn’t always land well, he believes it should be whatever helps you… and only you...2021-06-221h 07That Grief Relief PodcastEp. 25 - Zainab Al EqabiWhilst Zainab speaks openly about her story (TEDTalks and everything!) she’s never spoken about her grief. It’s not that she grieves what happened to her, more that she had to grow up sooner than she ultimately should have.
Zainab is a warm, wonderful woman and a fantastic role model, but not so great at cleaning out her trainers after a trip to the beach, as you will soon find out! I can’t wait to walk sand all through her house when I go round for dinner with her family (which I may or may...2021-06-151h 08That Grief Relief PodcastEp. 24 - Sam ColeIt’s episodes like this that make me realise just how much I love doing this podcast. Sam & I met about ten minutes before hitting record and listening to him talk about his wonderful Dad, Stan, brought back so many incredible memories of my own Dad. I did have to question whether we were related or not at one point! The similarities didn’t end there sadly, Stan also passed away after a short battle with a brain tumor, but his legacy lives on, and not just in a Christmas Day sea swim!

He has six years’ experience working alongside U.K. mental health charities, such as Samaritans and MIND, to improve the wellbeing of staff and customers for business such as Barclays, Barclaycard, and Sainsbury’s Argos in the U.K., and now he’s utilising that experience in the U.A.E.

Tony has, quote, ‘suffered every kind of loss you can imagine’. This took him to some dark places; he shares in detail the day he drove into the desert to take his own life. Some people say they are blessed, but Tony truly believes this even after everything he has been through and knew he wanted to pay this forward and therefore created Memories of Us, a non-profit support group for men experiencing grief.

Which just goes to show that you never know what’s going on in people’s lives.
Leslie has been a huge supporter of the podcast since the first episode, then one day she says to me “I think I want to share my story”... and what a story it is! Listening for the first time, I felt like I was listening to a true crime podcast, there were so ma...2021-05-181h 05That Grief Relief PodcastEp. 20 - Chris from Miscarriage for MenChris and his partner suffered a miscarriage in February of this year. He was looking for answers, for help and support without going down the therapy route, but couldn’t find anything dedicated to men that he felt was right for him. A few short weeks later, Chris created miscarriageformen.com with the aim of helping “that one person that might need it”.
Being, quote “just a lad from the North East of England”, Chris was brought up with the same mindset as most; boys don’t cry and they certainly do not need help. They ar...2021-05-1151 minThat Grief Relief PodcastEp. 19 - Athul Kamal aka A2LAthul’s father passed away four years ago meaning that, in his culture, as the eldest son, he effectively became the head of the family. Whilst this was considered ‘the norm’, the whole situation affected Athul, who still feels he hasn’t been able to fully grieve his loss, even though he made some pretty big decisions to try and help the process.
Once again, without losing the sentiment of the story, we had a lot of fun recording this episode because it’s been a long time since we ‘hung out’ properly. Athul (aka A2L) is my for...2021-05-041h 03

I’m joined by Alex Grant who openly shares how she dealt with her nine year relationship ending; how it almost broke her and how ‘moving her body’, a Buddhist retreat and Las Vegas got her through, and not in the way you might expect!
We also touch on another aspect of disenfranchised grief following her retirement from competitive gymnastics after nearly 20 years in the sport! Oh and Alex may or may not be best friends with Celine Dion!

Gonzalez-MorettDiana and I began talking on Instagram a few weeks back, as I was so in awe of her honesty talking about not only ambiguous grief, but anticipatory grief. Diana’s mother was diagnosed with a rare form of dementia, known as frontotemporal dementia in 2016. We delve into how you try to process your grief while accepting and loving the changes that happen with your loved ones.
As we were wrapping up recording this episode Diana said “Who knew that talking about grief would include so many giggles?”... it’s true!

I’m joined by Candy Fanucci, founder of Pirates Surf Rescue, a Dubai-based water-sports programme for kids. Candy has suffered loss… a LOT of loss, yet listening to her story I found myself smiling and inspired. Her energy, attitude and outlook on life is not only admirable, but infectious.
Candy shares that after her losses, she could have travelled down a very dark path, but instead decided to use her life experiences to help others. Pirate Surf Rescue was born. She also tried to convince me to join the ‘5am Clu...2021-04-1357 minThat Grief Relief PodcastEp. 15 - Laura MadaioLaura & I connected through Instagram just last year; she is the amazing woman behind the Instagram account, @griefhungry, that I spoke about in episode 2.
Laura’s Dad, John, died in truly bizarre circumstances. In this episode, she talks about the day it happened and how she and her family found out details of her Dad’s death through the media whilst waiting for updates in the hospital. Her family’s ‘relationship’ with the media, including social media, didn’t stop there.

During that conversation I realised that Lara was grieving, she was grieving her own life; her life before Fibromyalgia. According to WebMD, Fibromyalgia “can feel similar to osteoarthritis, bursitis and tendinitis. But rather than hurting in a specific area, the pain and stiffness could be throughout your body… simply put, you ache all over”. I asked Lara if she would be willing to share her story; she kindly said yes and I found out that she not only gri...2021-03-091h 08That Grief Relief PodcastEp. 13 - Aisling Prendergast - Psychologist from The LighthouseThis episode I was joined by Aisling Prendergast, MSc (UK) MBACP (reg.) Psychologist and Lead Program Co-ordinator for Raymee Grief Centre at The Lighthouse, a community mental health and wellness clinic, located in Dubai, providing quality psychological and psychiatric care to children, adults, couples and families.
Not only does Aisling talk through her interpretation of the grief process and different types of grief, she also gives insight into her own grief and therapy journey.

Sarah took her own life just six weeks ago. With the blessing of her father, Ewan wanted to tell her story in the hope that it could help at least one person.
We also touched on Ewan’s own personal struggles, including divorce and career failures, which pushed him to find his own voice and begin talking; something he feels very passionately about.

You’ll get to hear all about that in due course.
Richard reached out to me on social media to say he’d been enjoying the podcast and that he was so surprised at how open everyone had been, as he is from (in his words) the ‘stiff upper lip’ generation. We then got chatting and it turns out he experienced great losses at an early...2021-02-091h 25That Grief Relief PodcastEp. 10 - Dominique ZawiszaDominique’s Mum didn’t pass away, yet there was still loss to deal with after she left the family to start a new life.
Dominique talks about how she grieved this loss and how, with the help of her husband acting as ‘UN Peacekeeper”, she is working on rebuilding her relationship with her Mum for the sake of her young children.
Unsurprisingly, we also talk cats, me making people feel awkward about death and the time I called Dominique “Dom” in front of a client (never again!).

Having already talked about Dad’s death in Episode 2, in this episode Russell talks about losing Mum just two years prior. He speaks openly about how not dealing with that grief, and combined with other major life events in the following years, ultimately had a huge impact on him. We also discuss the dynamics of growing up in a divorced family, becoming stand up comedians and whether or not anyone has ever made a complaint about a funeral director!

In episode 1, my (half) brother Oliver spoke about the night our Mum died (Spoiler Alert!). In this episode, he talks about his Dad passing away not long afterwards; how he experienced grief in a very different way and how he only managed to get closure on some issues in their relationship in a very one-sided conversation in the funeral home.

If you have lost someone, you have a story, and you should tell it. As, like Louise did for Kathryn, you could inspire someone else to tell theirs.
I feel like I write this sentence way too often, but Kathryn lost her Dad after a short battle with cancer in November 2018.

Some months later, Louise recognised the ‘grief fog’ closing in; she needed help, and wasn’t afraid to ask for it. After hearing Louise’s story I hope, like me, you will #BeMoreMarjory!

Whilst Nicole lost a number of people close to her in a very short space of time, she also grieved something perhaps unusual to most people. Speaking openly about how she grieved very differently as a reaction to each trauma, Nicole tells us how her pets keep her sane and how she stepped out of her comfort zone to relieve her grief.

Whilst Danny doesn’t remember the intricate details and dates of my Dad’s illness and passing, he talks honestly about how my Dad impacted his life and how his grief was more for us (his Mum, Russell & I); how we were coping and what he could do to help. He also did extremely well to not swear the entire episode… and that deserves five stars in itself!2020-11-031h 02That Grief Relief PodcastEp. 2 - My big brother RussellThis is a long one, but that's what happens when you have two dead parents!
