Episode 20: The Week Grief Caught Up With Me

After a few weeks away, I'm back - and this episode explains why. A conversation with a patient, a hospital appointment with Oscar, a failed camping trip and a grief wave so powerful I could no longer outrun it. For the first time in a long time I stopped pretending I was OK. If you've ever felt pressure to be "better" before you're ready, this conversation is for you. Grab a coffee and join me ☕️🖤

Episode 19: He's Like Me

A playdate that was never meant to be part of our story... and yet became one of the most important ones. In this episode, I share what happened when Oscar met another little boy who had also lost his Daddy. What started as a simple meet-up turned into something much bigger. A quiet moment of connection, understanding, and the realisation that he's not the only one. ☕️🖤

Episode 18: Explaining The Unexplainable

Last night, my 3 year old son Oscar reached up into the sky and cried  "I want my Daddy back" And I had to somehow hold him... while my own heart was breaking too. This episode is about helping a child understand grief, when you're still trying to understand it yourself. https://winstonswish.org/ [https://winstonswish.org/] Winston's Wish Free Support line Open Mon-Fri 8am-8pm - 08088 020 021 https://www.justgiving.com/page/lydia-wallis?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL&utm_content=link_in_bio [https://www.justgiving.com/page/lydia-wallis?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL&utm_content=link_in_bio] https://www.justgiving.com/page/allforgilbert?utm_medium=FR [https://www.justgiving.com/page/allforgilbert?utm_medium=FR] ☕️🖤

Episode 17: The Second Year Of Grief: Living In The In-between

The second year of grief doesn't look like people expect. It's quieter on the outside... but heavier on the inside.  Less visible. Less understood. And somehow... more complicated. This episode is about the in-between. Where joy and heartbreak sit side by side. Where you can stand at a wedding and laugh, cry, feel everything... and still miss them all at once.  If you've ever felt like you should be 'further along' by now - this is for you ☕️🖤

Episode 16: Tiny Paws Helping Broken Hearts

Grief doesn't disappear... it jusst changes shape. And sometimes healing shows up in the form of muddy paws, early mornings, and a puppy who has absolutely no concept of personal space. This week I'm talking about Honey, the chaos she's brought into our lives... and the quiet ways she's helped us to heal. Because joy doesn't replace love.  It learns to sit alongside it. ☕️🖤
