Birthdays, anniversaries, and firsts without dad | S2 05

How does grief change over time? Nell, 22, lost her dad less than a year ago two weeks before graduation, a day she did not feel like celebrating. Alina, 18, is coming up to three years without her dad and shares the good and bad moments of grieving in school. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground. The conversation covers life milestones, their futures without dad, and advice for the first death anniversary.
