Getting real with mum: grieving before dad died | S2 07

Are you ever ready for someone to die? Rosie returns to Grief in Common with her mum, Lisa, as they talk about the way Rosie’s dad’s terminal cancer diagnosis and death impacted their lives individually. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground. The conversation covers how Lisa and husband John told Rosie and her two younger siblings about John’s diagnosis, coping with hospice care during COVID, and how photos and videos are extremely precious to them as a family.
