Podcast Overview

This is Feeling Griefy. It’s a podcast that explores the minutiae of an experience I wanted to google after my Mum died, and it dawned on me that I even though I was technically ‘grieving’, I had no idea what that actually meant. I enlisted my best friend Patrick to sit down with me and two microphones, to work out how grief has worked its way into different aspects of my twenties. How it intertwines with friendships, interferes with work, influences relationships and interrupts breakups…. Like washing new clothes for the first time, everything feels different after someone you love dies.

Change

The first Feeling Griefy episode of 2024! It’s about grief and change (because there’s been a lot of change for me this past year!) I talk to Patrick about how it’s been starting something very new without Mum, and why I think it made the anniversary of when she died a bit harder than normal. We also talk about why I want to start therapy again and my love of antiques and analogies (as ever there are lots of tangents). Oh, and I also talk about the Feeling Griefy newsletter that I started last year in an attempt to be more disciplined with my writing. I try and share a digestible griefy insight (mostly!) every week. I also try really hard to make them not sad.

Health

While this episode is called ‘Health’, it actually goes off on a lot of unexpected tangents! I tell Patrick about how I find it very difficult to go to the doctors (or dentist) without crying. This unexpected affliction has also found its way into both my attempts to give blood and we reflect on why this might be the case. I also talk about what I still really struggle with (and this bit gets a bit more emotional than planned - it’s at about the 20 mins mark). It was one of those rare instances where the emotion bubbled up completely unexpectedly. I found this both unnerving but comforting. I’m proud of this episode, because I think we went somewhere I wasn’t expecting and I have come away with some unexpected reflections (thanks Patrick). I think I could do a whole other episode on how grief has more specifically impacted my health so maybe that’s a part 2! As ever - thanks for listening and please do get in touch if you have any thoughts. I’d love to know if anyone else cries as much as I do when I’m at the doctors….

January

We didn’t think we’d be recording again so soon after Christmas but I also wasn’t expecting such an emotional January.  I tell Patrick about the unexpected, and tragic loss of both our beautiful family dogs. I reflect on how I’m trying to navigate these loses alongside my daily dose of Mum grief…(it turns out previous experience of grief doesn’t stop the hurt of new grief…). This was also all happening in the weeks leading up to the 6 year anniversary of when Mum died. It’s been a lot to say the least!   I think you can hear by the speed with which I talk that there has been a lot going on in my head (I was even surprised listening back).  But I think thats reflective of the intensity of 2023 so far. I enjoyed this chat a lot. It felt like a good release of whirring energy and I am also glad I could share a little about Max and Melka (our dogs).  Thanks for listening xx Email me at FeelingGriefyElla@gmail.com.
