Description
Welcome to the gang...the one you never asked to be part of.
The Grief Gang podcast was created after host Amber Jeffrey, Mother died unexpectedly at the age of 19. Struggling with her grief and feelings, she set out to find people who just got it and to share the continuous whirlwind experience of this thing called grief.
Through sharing her own experiences, the highs and the really low lows, the funny bits, the naff bits and the really confusing bits, this show aims to show you that you are never alone in your grief and feelings. Nor should you have to suffer it alone. You will hear alongside Amber's own experiences on this podcast, an array of guests who honestly & candidly share their own stories of their grief, from all different walks of life and losses. From parent, child, sibling, partner & more, there is hopefully something here for everybody.
You will most likely cry, even more likely to laugh when listening to this show, but above all this show aims to provide you with hope. Hope that there is life after loss..and a bloody good one at that.
The Grief Gang podcast has been celebrated by the BBC, Channel 5, Vogue, Women's Health UK & Australia and more. Amber's dedicated passion to her community and work of breaking down the taboo conversation of grief, has been recognised globally from media to the academic world. Delivering talks, panel discussions and workshops at the likes of Cambridge University, Westminster & the first international grief conference in Denmark.

Welcome back to another episode of the Grief Gang podcast.This week I was joined by Emma Winterschladen. Emma is an editor for BEAST magazine, a food and travel editor for Liz Earle Wellbeing magazine and a freelance writer and illustrator.I came across Emma and her stunning writing through Instagram and fell into a deep rabbit hole. Her writing is stunning and moving and hits the nail on the head when it comes to those feelings inside with grief that you just can’t put into words. Emma lost her mum, Jenny, when she was 16 to cancer. We speak of what it was like for her and her family, going through womanhood without mum, and how Emma very vividly can pinpoint meals and foods with very key points throughout her mum’s diagnosis and beyond. I left feeling hungry after this episode! Happy listening!

You the motherless children who inspire me everyday. I asked you all to answer 4 questions1) What's your mums name?2) Describe your mum in 3 words.3) What's 1 thing you're thankful your mum taught you?4) If she was here this Mother's day, what would you say to her?The entries were beyond what I could of imagined. Thank you to everyone who sent me an entry, they were all beautiful in their own rights.I may not be able to take my mum out or buy her flowers like the previous years. But she will always be my mum, and I will always be her daughter. Happy Mother's day mum.Enjoy.Big love,Amber xxxSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/thegriefgang. Hosted on Acast.
