With exam results days and university on the horizon, we've rebooted this podcast episode from season 1. Listen to Abigail and Annabelle share their experiences of grieving while at uni.

What is it like to grieve away from home?

Annabelle’s dad died when she was in her second year of university, while Abigail’s sister died six years ago when she was still at school, but they both agree that living away from home at university has given them a different perspective on their grief. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground.

The conversation covers the awkwardness of telling lots of new people about your bereavement, the importance of talking to your friends even if they don’t ‘get it’, and what they do to look after themselves now.

Content warning: mentions suicide, COVID and death throughout.

This episode was recorded over Zoom.

To help you manage your grief this summer, we've relaunched this podcast episode from season 1, which focuses on telling your friends about your bereavement.

Do people treat you differently after a bereavement? Daisy (13) and Rosie (22) had very different ways of telling their friends and classmates that their dads had died and found people responded in unexpected ways. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground. The conversation covers how their friends reacted and schools supported them, how they mark their dads’ birthdays and the importance of making memories with someone who has a terminal diagnosis.

Content warning: mentions of death, alcoholism and cancer throughout.

From the vault! To help you manage your grief this summer, we've rebooted this podcast episode about grief and travelling.

Is it easier or harder to cope with grief away from home? 14 years after Grace’s dad died, she spent a whole summer abroad, which is the longest she’s ever been away from her mum. Nell went travelling just a few months after her sister died, and they both found that grief affected their travels in several ways. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground.

The conversation covers how hard it is being away from those who know and understand your grief, unexpected emotions, from anxiety to jealousy, and their realisation that being away from home doesn’t ‘fix’ your grief.

Content warning: mentions mental health and death throughout. Please rate and subscribe to help us reach more grieving young people.
