As usual an honest weekly grief chat with Karen and Bec (Probably a bit too honest this week ). As we try and navigate our deep losses we all know how difficult it is to hold on to a Positive Mental Attitude - not as a forced optimism, but as a quiet, powerful resilience. We totally understand that some days its just not possible, but if we can find light without pretending the darkness isn't real, we hope we can understand that resilience isn't toughening it out - its bending without breaking.
So, grab yourself a cuppa, find a comfortable spot and we can journey through grief together.

It’s a powerful testament to a mother’s love and courage, the strength found in vulnerability and the importance of speaking openly about child loss.

In this episode, we sit with the quiet, complex grief that comes with marking the second anniversary of loss. Year two can be unexpectedly heavy- less outward support, but just as much pain. We talk about what it means to live in the "after", when the world has moved on but your heart hasn't. From unexpected waves of sadness, loneliness of long term mourning and the trauma that the anniversaries of loss can bring back.
This conversation holds space for those walking through year two and beyond, honouring the enduring bond with a child or other loved one gone to soon. So, grab yourself a cuppa, find a comfortable spot and we can journey through grief together.
