Episode 22: Father's Day, Take Two

Episode 22: Father's Day, Take Two

This week's podcast episode is about Father's Day, grief, parenting after loss and the poem I wrote for Oscar on Father's Day last year. We talk about remembering Alex, the male role models helping to shape Oscar's life, and the question that sits quietly underneath it all: Will it be enough? A conversation about love, loss, family and all the ways people continue to show up long after the worst day has passed. ☕️🖤

Episode 21: £21.44 & Other Emotional Ambushes

This week, a £21.44 bank transfer stopped me in my tracks, Oscar promoted me to professional cyclist despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and a GP appointment left me questioning whether I'd accidentally wandered into a satire sketch. This is an episode about recognition, resilience and the people who understand without needing an explanation. ☕️🖤

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] ☕️🖤
