Jealousy, what ifs, and growing up grieving | S2 09

How does jealousy rear its ugly head while grieving? Ghislaine, 26, returns to the podcast for her series 2 debut to discuss jealousy and the effects of not having her dad around. Elizabeth, 17, shares about her bereavement for the first time and talks about relationships with family, friends, and teachers. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground. The conversation covers feeling jealous of other peoples’ memories, grieving throughout school, and ‘what if it never happened’.

Content warning: road accidents, heart attacks, and death throughout.
