The Grief Gang Amber Jeffrey

On this weeks episode I'm talking to ITV news presenter & Loose Women host, Charlene White. Chatting all things grief and her mum Dorette.
Charlene's words on a Loose Women episode around April 2021 stopped me dead in my hoovering tracks. Engrossed in what she had to say about grief and her mum, I just knew I wanted to speak with her. Low and behold 8 months later, I bring to you this beautiful conversation.
In this episode, Charlene will take you back to when she was just 16 and her mum being diagnosed with Bowel cancer, what life looked like for her and family whilst mum was ill and to me, the most special part of this episode, the meaning of true friendship. Your home team who will show up and show out in your darkest of hours, just like Charlene's did and still do.
Thank you Charlene for coming on to the show and for sharing your mum with me. It's not everyday you get to interview someone you literally grew up watching on your telly box!
Please, if you can, leave a rating and review, it really means & helps a lot!
Big love always,

Welcome to this week's episode of The Grief Gang podcast.
This week I'm talking with friend, fellow sister in grief & editor-in-chief at Gal-dem, Suyin Haynes about all things "And Just Like That", the Sex and The City reboot.
Now if you're not a fan and haven't the faintest idea why on earth there is an episode dedicated to SATC, I'll fill you in. Big (aka John) , a huge character in the series, very surprisingly just died at the end of episode 1 of the reboot series, leaving viewers like myself and Suyin SHOOK. So far, the rest of the series has us following Carrie, his wife, through her grief. It has viewers very divided as to whether they have depicted the role of a widow "right". I asked the larger Grief Gang community their thoughts & some think they've got it on the money, some think it's total BS. Regardless, I wanted to speak about it on the show and how grief is perceived on the big screen!
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Suyin and having a care free griefy chat. Thank you for joining me darling. You can find Suyin over on Instagram at @suyinsays
Big love always,

Welcome back to this weeks episode of the Grief Gang episode. 
This week I’m joined by the 2 founders of charity Suicide&Co, Emma Morrisroe and Amelia Wrighton. 
I am obsessed and totally inspired by these two phenomenal women and it has been an honour to have them on the show and to witness their journey and their bright future with the charity. In this episode you’ll hear them both recount the losses of their parents, Emma’s dad and Amelia’s mum. How they came to meet and the wonderful lightbulb moment that changed it all. What it’s really like to be young and bereaved by suicide and their mission to support the loved ones of the families affected by this loss. 
The girls are making real change and this is only the beginning. 
Find them over on Instagram at @suicideandco and on their website too. There you will find resources such as signposting as well as funded counselling, not to mention their “Mixed Feelings” t-shirt campaign that is back for limited time only, so be sure to not miss out! 
Big love,

This week I'm speaking to Laura Main, a grief and drama therapist under a contemporary mental health service.
Laura came to this episode to speak about her parents. Her dad who passed 17 years ago and her mum, 4 years ago. This episode is beautiful in more ways than one. Laura speaks about her parents love for each other, the infatuation they had, her childhood, becoming a mum without mum and what that looks and so much more. It is an absolute TREAT of an episode.
She delves into her work as a grief therapist and what it is truly like supporting the bereaved when you, yourself, are bereaved too.
Thank you Laura for being such a delightful guest, my god how we laughed and really cried together. You're the stuff made of dreams darling!
Big love, Amber xxx
