    Imogen’s Untold Story: Unravelling a Web of Lies

    We’re back with a brand new season of Good Mourning, and in this first episode, Im delves into the untold parts of her story following her mother’s suicide in February 2020.
    In the depths of her grief, Im unearthed a devastating revelation – the person her mother had married was not at all who she said she was. 
    In the following months, Im went on to investigate who this woman was, and what she uncovered was unbelievable. 
    She shared her story with Journalist Emily Baker late last year on ABC’s 7:30 Report. You can find the story here.
    TW: During this episode, we discuss suicide, Coercive Control, and emotional and psychological abuse, and some listeners may find it triggering. We’ve listed several support resources below.

Keep talking about grief

I lost my husband to prostate cancer 20 months ago. He was 51 years old. I find talking about grief and living with grief so incredibly hard. Keep talking because people are listening.

Thanks for all you do. You help me so much with the loss of my Dad, who passed just two months ago.
