.I’m currently putting together a new podcast called Those Left Behind — inspired by my book The Boy She Left Behind.

It will be a series of honest, relaxed conversations with people who have experienced bereavement.

Not just about losing someone, but about the person you lost.

The things that still make you laugh.

The memories that suddenly come back.

What surprised you about grief.

What helped.

What really didn’t.

The things people said that you wish they hadn’t.

The song, smell, place or silly little thing that instantly reminds you of them.

And what life looks like afterwards.

There’s no “right” way to grieve, and I’d really like the podcast to reflect that.

So, if you’ve lost someone important to you and you’d feel comfortable having an open conversation about them and your experience, I’d love to hear from you.

You don’t need to be a public speaker or have an extraordinary story. You just need to want to talk about someone who mattered.

The conversations will be recorded remotely by video call, so you can take part from home.

If you might be interested, please message me privately. There’s absolutely no obligation — at this stage I’m just seeing who might like to be involved.

THOSE LEFT BEHIND

Conversations about love, loss and everything that comes after.
