Room to Grieve Podcast

Can Therapy Help when Grieving?

Well, can therapy help in grief ? Karen and Bec discuss that its got to be the right therapy, needless to say the first attempt at therapy wasn't great! Bec takes some convincing to keep trying to get the help she needs. Anger in their grief is high at the moment and Karen shares her difficult week and maybe her non politically correct way of dealing with challenges.
As usual expect tears, rants and of course laughter. Losing a loved one is an incredibly difficult journey, seeking grief therapy can be daunting, but hopefully a positive step towards navigating your loss and coping with grief. It should provide a safe space to process your emotions, share memories and try to rebuild your sense of self after loss.
So, grab yourself a cuppa, find a comfortable spot and we can journey through grief together.

New Year. Same Grief

We should say Happy New Year, but is it really?! Nothing has changed, our grief is just as intense, life continues to move all around us but we survived it. 
Karen and Bec are back after the holidays and in this first episode of 2025 they share how they coped with the festive season and going into the New Year (which is so hard and no one ever warns you about!) Listen to them share how they found support in their grief with each other and in others. Loosing a child is most probably the hardest thing any parent can ever endure. Both Karen and Becs youngest children, Emily(16) and Bradley (18) died in June 2023 after suffering from the same type of Brain Cancer. We have come together to share what grief looks like to us, how we manage (or don't) with the every day, triggers, glimmers and life in between! Expect raw and honest unscripted conversations with tears, tantrums and laughter.

Son died 10 years after diagnosed with brain tumour - Bec & Karen are joined by Angela Moseley, fellow loss mum

This weeks visual is not up to scratch and we apologise for that! Bec was in a lightening storm and lost signal for large portions of it and therefore dips in and out, this also meant we had to recover the footage and work hard to restore it!
Karen and Bec were joined back in September this year with fellow loss mum Angela Moseley who son William was diagnosed with a brain tumour 10 years before he died 2 years ago aged 18. Angela bravely shares Williams story for the first time and shares their journey whilst William was poorly and her own subsequent grief journey.
