The Grieving Process After Losing a Loved One - Ian Ridley
Description
On today’s episode is the brilliant sports journalist and author Ian Ridley. In February of 2019 Ian’s wife, Vikki Orvice, who was also a brilliant and renowned journalist, sadly died of cancer at the age of just 56.
After experiencing the unbearable feelings that grief can bring with it, Ian decided to write a book called The Breath of Sadness: On Love Grief and Cricket, which explains his own grieving process and how the varying emotions changed over time.
For Ian, deciding to watch a summer of county cricket helped him through the darkest moments, and he encourages others that are suffering after the loss of a loved one to find their own activity that might be able to provide some respite from the sadness.
I really admire Ian’s bravery in coming on the podcast to talk all about all of this, in the hope that it might be able to help others.
I hope you enjoy the episode and don't forget to hit follow/subscribe!
