Within weeks of each other, Jo lost two women who became like second mums to her, and grief for her own mum came flooding back. When she shared on Instagram how much she still misses her, hundreds of women wrote back saying the same. Recorded while it’s all still fresh, this episode is about the quiet grief so many midlife women carry long after everyone else has moved on, and why there’s nothing wrong with you if you’re still missing someone.
In this episode, we explore:
When a new grief knocks and an old one answers
Why grief for a friend, mentor or colleague counts just as much
Moving with grief, rather than moving on from it
Continuing bonds: keeping love alive through recipes, sayings and small rituals
Simple ways to support a grieving friend, long after the casseroles stop
If you’ve been quietly missing someone, this one is for you. Jo hopes it helps you feel a little less alone, and maybe gives you a moment to say their name out loud.
