Good Mourning Grief Podcast

Good Mourning is changing the way we think and talk about grief, one honest conversation at a time. ✨

Grief affects us all at some stage, but it’s not always easy to talk about. The Good Mourning podcast, hosted by Sally Douglas and Imogen Carn, is hoping to change that by creating a modern platform to openly discuss what loss is like, with honesty and humour. Both in our early thirties, we lost our mums unexpectedly within the last year, joining “The Club” that nobody wants to be part of. It was

through this shared experience that we became friends, and this podcast was born. We want to shine a light on what grief is like, by interviewing interesting people to hear how the experience has shaped their lives. We’ll cover it all: the highs, lows...and the funny bits in between. The aim of this podcast is to open up the conversation around grief and provide comfort for others who’ve experienced loss, or be a helpful resource for those supporting someone who is going through a difficult time. Together, we can make the topic of grief a little less awkward. You can follow the Good Mourning Podcast on Instagram at , or drop us a line at [email protected].

Can you relate to any of these? 
👉 Smiling in public, crying in the car. 👉 Forgetting simple things (hello, grief brain). 👉 Feeling like no one really gets it.
👉 Looking “fine” while secretly falling apart. 👉 The exhaustion that never seems to lift.

These are the things no one sees. The invisible side of grief. Please know that even though grief shifts everything, over time, you’ll also find the small glimmers. The people who surprise you, the moments of laughter you didn’t think were possible, the proof that you can carry both heartbreak and hope.

If you feel unseen in it all, you’re not alone. It’s precisely why we started the Good Mourning podcast 🎧.
With over 150 episodes, we’ve covered every corner of grief: loneliness, anxiety, grief brain, the other side, friendships, how to support someone…you name it, we’ve spoken about it. We’ve also interviewed some absolute legends including .riordan.jarvis and so many more ❤️

It’s not depressing, we promise. It’s real talk designed to make you feel less alone. Link in bio to listen, or just search “Good Mourning” wherever you get your podcasts. ❤️

What parts of your grief does no one see? What do you want others to know?

“I never know what to say”... Sound familiar?

Here’s the thing: silence usually hurts more than saying the “wrong” thing. That’s why we’ve pulled together some texts you can send that actually help. Simple, human, and guaranteed to remind your grieving friend they’re not alone.

Because grief doesn’t have an expiry date. Whether it’s been 3 weeks or 3 years, acknowledging someone’s loss matters. more than you might realise.

Share this to your stories to help make grief a little less awkward.

👇 And tell us in the comments: what’s a message or gesture that made you feel supported?

Drop a ❤️ if you feel this, too. And tell us who you’re remembering 👇

Saying their name doesn’t make us “forget they’re gone.” It reminds us they lived. That they mattered. That they’re still woven into who we are.

But too often people tiptoe around it, worried it’ll upset us. What’s actually upsetting is pretending they didn’t exist. It’s healthy to talk about your person. To tell their stories. To laugh about their quirks. To say their name out loud. It’s not morbid. It’s love. It’s human.

This is one of the many truths we dive into in our book Good Mourning: Honest Conversations about Grief and Loss. Because grief isn’t about erasing someone from conversation, it’s about finding new ways to keep them close.

Tell us, what was your person’s name? We want to hear it 🫶

Tag the friend who just gets it. 💕

The one who sends the random “thinking of you” text. Who lets you ugly-cry on their couch, who shows up with snacks instead of solutions.

The friend who doesn’t need you to perform or pretend...they just let you be.

Grief (and life) is so much lighter when you’ve got that kind of person in your corner.

Tag that person below and give them some love ❤️

Grief doesn’t just change how you feel. It changes how you show up in the world.

It’s the cancelled plans. The quiet moments when you don’t have the words. The laughter that feels complicated.
The new version of you that even you are still figuring out.

If you’ve ever wished people just got it without you having to explain, you’re not alone. That’s why we started Good Mourning.

Because grief is messy, human, and real. And talking about it (honestly) helps us all feel less weird, less alone, and more understood.

Overthinking or overfeeling…which one are you today? ❤️

One of the biggest shocks of grief? The people part…

Some who you thought would be ride-or-die disappear.
Others you barely knew step up like superheroes.And sometimes, the silence is deafening.

When we were grieving, no one warned us about this side of loss. Society doesn’t talk about it, and it can feel so lonely. That’s exactly why we wrote Good Mourning: Honest Conversations About Grief and Loss, because we were confused by all the ways grief sideswipes you. We wanted to create the book we wish we’d had: part support group, part survival guide, and zero fluff. 📙

It’s designed to be easy to pick up when your brain feels fried and impossible to concentrate. Inside, you’ll find tips, tools, and unfiltered stories from other grievers to remind you that you are not the only one thinking, “WTF is happening to my life and relationships?!”

You can grab it via the link in our bio, or on Amazon, Booktopia, and bookstores. ❤️

Some people will surprise you (in the best and worst ways). And as someone once told us, people can only meet you as deeply as they’ve met themselves. That really helped.

👉 How has grief shifted your relationships? Who showed up, and who didn’t? We’d love to hear your experience below.

Often our grief is invisible to others, and the world can rush us to ‘get back to normal’ or ‘be okay’ (whatever okay is). Do you agree? ❤️

Thing is, when we can’t meet that expectation that we’ll “bounce back” to normal, our confidence takes a hit. We start questioning ourselves - especially when grief brings all the extras: anxiety, brain fog, friendship shifts, loss of purpose, or that disorienting “I don’t feel like me in my own body” feeling.

What you need to remember is that you are learning to live without the person who once made you feel most like yourself. This takes time.

So if you’ve felt wobbly, unrecognisable, know that this is normal. We’ve been there, and we’ve made it through the other side. You will be okay.

When the ground feels shaky, try asking yourself not ‘How do I get back to who I was?’ but ‘What do I need, right now, to get through today?’ – that small shift is how you start to rebuild.

Grief is a shapeshifter. One day you’re weepy, the next you’re absolutely furious. Sometimes you’re exhausted, other times you feel like you’ve got heaps of energy. It’s not uncommon to look ‘fine’ while quietly falling apart inside (we’re looking at you, Type A grievers 👀).

It can make you feel inconsistent, unpredictable - even like you’re “doing everything wrong.” But you’re not. That’s just grief being grief: messy, contradictory, and never the same two days in a row.

A reminder for anyone who needs to hear it today: emotions don’t need to be tidy to be valid. Instead of judging the version of yourself that shows up today, try asking, “What do I need right now?” That might be rest, space, distraction, or a cry in the shower. All of it counts.

If you recognise yourself in these many faces of grief, you’re not broken - you’re human. And you’re not alone (even if it feels like it).

Our 10 commandments are for grieving humans, made with love (and a side of dark humour). ❤️ Because grief is weird. It’s not a five-stage flow chart. It doesn’t care about your to-do list. And it’s definitely not something you “get over.”

Swipe through, save for a sh*t day, and maybe send it to someone who’s been dropping griefy clangers like “they’re in a better place.”

You’re not alone in this mess. And you’re definitely not doing it wrong. 🖤
