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].

How’s everyone feeling ahead of Mother’s Day this year?  
If there’s one thing that you guys have shared over the years that people might not realise, it’s that it creeps in weeks before, in the ads, the emails, the “don’t forget to buy your mum a gift” reminders you didn’t ask for, doesn’t it?
 Or how you might feel completely fine one minute, then irrationally angry at a supermarket display the next. Or oddly numb, wondering if something is wrong with you (there isn’t.)

Grief on Mother’s Day isn’t one thing, it’s layered, contradictory, and often completely invisible to everyone else.

If this resonates, send it to someone who gets it. And if you need a bit more support, our book Good Mourning: Honest conversations about grief and loss, was written for days like this. The messy, complicated, “I don’t know how to do this” ones. 💛

Can you relate to any of this? What would you add? . .

Going back to work after a loss can feel completely surreal. On the surface, everything looks the same. Same desk, same emails, same conversations. But internally, everything has shifted. You’re trying to function in a world that hasn’t really registered what’s just happened to you.

Grief doesn’t disappear when the workday starts. It sits in meetings, shows up halfway through an email, or hits out of nowhere when you’re doing something completely ordinary. One minute you’re replying to a message, the next you’re trying to hold it together in the bathroom.

There’s also this quiet pressure to be “back to normal”, but the reality is your capacity has changed. Concentration can feel harder. Simple tasks take more effort. Even small talk can feel strangely exhausting when your whole world has been turned upside down.

This is an excerpt from our book Good Mourning: Honest Conversations About Grief and Loss. We wrote a whole chapter on grief and work because honestly, it’s one of the places people struggle the most and talk about the least.

What was your experience of being at work while grieving? ❤️

The thoughts people feel ashamed of in grief are sometimes the most normal ones, but we just don’t often hear them out loud. So if you’re in need of a little solidarity, here are some confessions from our community of things they don’t usually say out loud, and honestly, they’re probably more relatable than you’d expect.
Grief has a way of making you feel like you’re the only one getting it wrong, when really, most people are just keeping the same thoughts to themselves. There isn’t such a thing as a bad thought in grief, just the ones we don’t always feel safe enough to admit.

If you want to hear more of these kinds of honest, unfiltered experiences, head to our Grievers Anonymous episodes on the podcast (link in bio). They’re full of real stories from people who are right there in it, too. It might bring some comfort and relatability in knowing you’re not alone.

Swipe through - do any of these resonate with you? 🩷

There’s a part of grief that no one really prepares you for: not just losing your person, but how it also reshapes your support system. And it can feel like a double loss.

You’re already carrying something unimaginably heavy, and then on top of that, the relationships you thought were solid suddenly feel shaky, distant, or just different in a way you can’t quite put your finger on.

Some people don’t show up how you need them to. Not because they don’t care, but because they don’t know how. Others surprise you in ways you didn’t expect, and some relationships don’t survive it at all.

Grief has a way of showing you who feels safe, who can sit in the discomfort with you and who can hold your reality without trying to fix it or rush it along. Over time, you might find your circle shifts to become more aligned with what you actually need as this version of you.

This is one of the many honest, uncomfortable, and very real parts of grief we talk about in our book Good Mourning: Honest Conversations About Grief and Loss. The kind of stuff people don’t always say out loud, but so many of us experience.

If this resonates, you’re not alone in it. And if you feel comfortable sharing, did any of your relationships change after your loss? 🤍

Oh, the many faces of grief. 🙃 Grief doesn’t just look like crying, does it? Sometimes it looks like panicking when someone finally asks “How are you really?” after wishing someone would ask all day. Sometimes it looks like your body reacting as if something terrible is happening, even when nothing is. Sometimes, it’s feeling strangely offended when people forget how much this loss changed you.

And other times? It’s laughing at something funny and realising you’re still allowed to have a sense of humour. Or bursting into tears over something wildly unrelated like burnt toast or a TV advert. Or noticing a moment of joy and thinking, maybe this can stay.

You can feel emotionally hungover after socialising. You can feel hope and heartbreak in the same afternoon. You can look completely fine on the outside while your nervous system is doing absolute backflips inside.

If you recognise yourself in any of these moments, you’re not alone. These are the kinds of honest, messy, very real experiences we talk about on the Good Mourning podcast and in our book Good Mourning: Honest Conversations About Grief and Loss, because grief deserves more honesty than clichés.

What’s something about grief that surprised you? 
We’d love to hear it. 🫶

Som many grievers quietly discover is that the first year isn’t always the griefiest. Why? Because it’s often when you’re just surviving. You’re in shock, and navigating the chaos that follows a death. You’re doing the admin (or as we call it, the “dead-min”) and processing so, so much.

In many ways, the first year is about getting through each day however you can. It’s sometimes the second or third year when the deeper impact starts to land.

Life around you resumes. Time keeps moving forward, but your person is still gone.

If you’ve ever felt confused about why the second year might feel challenging, please know that it’s something others have felt, too.

This is one of the many truths we explore in our book Good Mourning: Honest Conversations About Grief and Loss - along with all the realities of grief that people don’t warn you about.

Grief isn’t something you simply “get through” in a year. It’s something you slowly learn to carry.

If you’re navigating loss, or supporting someone who is, we wrote this book to feel like sitting down with two friends who get it. And, if you’re in the first or second year wondering if you’ll ever feel normal again, as two people six years into loss, it does get easier. Promise ❤️

And if you feel comfortable sharing…how long has it been since you lost your person? 🤍
