The Functioning Griefster
The Functioning Griefster is a podcast about, love, loss and still showing up anyway, with your survival kit on, whilst we bear the unbearable.
Recorded in the back of my son’s van, Dec, who died aged 24 in August 2023, I speak to fellow Griefster, who are, still grieving, still loving and still carrying their loved ones legacy forward.
These stories are real and raw,, no script, just courage, connection and unexpected moment of laughter and light.
Each episode includes a grounding tool to help anyone who is grieving or supporting someone who is.
