| Meet Gemma - Becoming Mum Without Mum | 16 Dec 2019 | 00:42:13 | |
Hey Grief Gang, and welcome back to this week's episode. This week, I was joined by the lovely Gemma. In a nutshell, Gemma lost her mum at the age of 15 down to heart failure, and a previous history of cancer. Gemma was a young carer for her mum, way before she passed away too. Gemma had no immediate family to support her during mums illness and after her death. The day her darling mum died, she went back to an empty home, can you imagine? We discuss everything from that day, what life was like for Gemma after and her finding family again, what it’s like to become a mum without mum...And how bloody amazing she is! We laughed, we cried, we bared all. Happy listening, I hope you enjoy it! Big love, Amber/The Grief Gang xxx Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thegriefgang. Hosted on Acast.

| The death of an older child and reinventing yourself with Jane Harris, CO-founder of The Good Grief Project. | 20 Mar 2024 | 01:01:53 | |
This week I'm speaking with Jane Harris, Co-Founder of The Good Grief Project. I've known Jane and her husband Jimmy for some years now, ever since I started The Grief Gang really. It has been long overdue getting Jane onto the podcast, but here we are. Jane and Jimmy's story is rooted in the grief for their son, Joshua, who died unexpectedly aged 22 in a motorbike accident whilst travelling in Vietnam. Since then, the breadth of Jane and Jimmy's work is extensive and so moving, all in the name of their son Joshua and to help other bereaved parents and siblings. Jane in this episode offers both a personal and professional perspective to what it is like navigating grief for an older child, whilst also being a therapist. How both Jane and Jimmy knew the importance of community very early on in their grief, especially regarding planning Joshua's funeral. And what it's like raising children whilst grieving for a child too. Jane and Jimmy work tirelessly to support other bereaved families, their retreats are a balm for all those who need them.

| Infertility and grief with Kat Brown. | 26 Sep 2023 | 01:03:45 | |
This week I'm speaking with friend and author, journalist and social media editor, Kat Brown. I met Kat back in March of 2022 at an event and have been besotted by her ever since! In this episode, Kat shares with us her experience of grief around infertility and what her journey has been like. Grappling with the information that becoming a parent was something that was not on the cards for her, navigating this experience in a society that still believes to some degree that a woman's value in the world is dependant on whether she can birth a child or not, and how with Kat's recent adult diagnosis of ADHD has helped her in her healing. Kat is utterly eloquent and hilarious in this episode and gave me so much insight. A truly brilliant episode.

| We need to talk about the surviving parent...With Psychotherapist Julia Samuel MBE. | 06 Jun 2023 | 01:05:01 | |
In today's episode I am speaking with leading Psychotherapist, Julia Samuel MBE. If you're involved in the grief online world, you'll definitely have come across Julia and her brilliant committed work as a Psychotherapist. I've come to know and befriend Julia over the years and she felt like the only person I felt comfortable with to have this big, big conversation. I'll be dead honest, this episode is completely raw for me. Today we're talking about the surviving parent and the complexities that can lie ahead when they find love again. I've got my own and very current experience on this, and in this episode, I'm peeling back the layers of it with Julia. It's brutally honest and I'm really wearing my heart on my sleeve. As always, Julia left me and I hope you too, with so much to think about and reflect on when it comes to navigating this experience. From learning to give myself self compassion, listening to the logical and illogical side of our brain and understanding that when a parent moving on in a relationship can feel like another loss and that it's not something to laugh off about (As I do many, many times in this ep) Thank you Julia for basically giving me a free therapy session lol, but for genuinely holding my heart and truly listening to me. I didn't know how much I needed this conversation. Find Julia and her work here.

With humour and honesty, these gals are paving a new way on how we express and talk about grief. In todays episode we talk about how they met and what them meeting means to one another. How very important it is to find that person who understands you and your grief and that feeling once you do. You can find Sally and Im and all things Good Mourning here.

| A public display of grief: Losing my Dad in 9/11 with David Ferrugio. | 25 Apr 2023 | 00:59:47 | |
This week, I'm speaking with fellow podcast host, David Ferrugio. David lost his father on 9/11 when he was 12. He learned the importance of discussion around grief and sharing other people's stories which inspired DEAD Talks Podcast. He was born in NY, raised in New Jersey and currently lives in Los Angeles, CA. So brilliantly in this episode David shares with us what his grief has taught him and how having a loved one die on such a public scale has affected him, both good and bad in equal measure. David has such an inspiring outlook on life after the tragic death of his father and I think it really shows in this episode. Find David on Instagram and all major podcast listening platforms under Dead Talks podcast.

| A living loss: Grieving for someone living with addiction. | 18 Apr 2023 | 00:54:52 | |
This week I'm sitting down with friend, Kadie Dowen. Today's episode is something a little different. We're talking about living losses. Kadie shares with us the grief attached to the break down of her marriage due to her ex-husband living with addiction. Grief isn't only tied to death and dying and grieving for someone who is very much alive, is very real. Kadie also has the experience of having her mum die, and the comparison between the two, the pain she holds for both are very similar. She shares a truthful account of what it is like to love and lose someone by addiction. The difficulty of knowing when to walk away and how to tend to this different but valid, grief.

| How grief might be affecting your sex life with Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist, Kate Moyle. | 11 Apr 2023 | 00:54:47 | |
This week I'm speaking with UKCP Registered Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist and EFS & ESSM Certified Psycho-Sexologist, Kate Moyle. For a little while now, grief and sex has been a highly demanded episode and I'm so happy to share this episode with you. I went into this episode really completely blind and came out learning so much about how grief and sex might be interlinked, how it can be affected and how we can start understanding our relationship with the pair a bit better. Sex and death are possibly one of the two most difficult conversations to have within our society and I truly believe this episode with Kate will help break down some of those stigmas we have with sex and grief. You can find Kate via her Instagram, website and incredible podcast: The Sexual Wellness Sessions.

This week I'm talking to a very special guest. One who I go way, way back with and knows the depths of my grief...my boyfriend Joe. Joe has been a previous guest on the podcast many moons ago in season 1! We've dragged Joe back for a part 2 on grief, love and relationships.

We hope we did alright! Thanks Joe, for always being a good sport, a great partner and an even better laugh.

| Friendships and grief (Part 2!) | 22 Mar 2023 | 00:38:26 | |
Grief and friendships...we all have an experience on this topic. Hence why I'm having another crack at this topic nearly 4 years on from the OG friendship ep back in 2019. In this episode I'm revisiting old beliefs and experiences on friendships whilst being bereaved. What's changed for me, what hasn't? What have I learned and what am I taking with me to nurture my today friendships and grief. Of course, I asked The Grief Gang community to share their experiences and questions and I try my best to impart some friendly advice from my learnings and one might say...mistakes.
