On the podcast this week, the writer and comedian Cariad Lloyd talks about her new book, You Are Not Alone: A new way to grieve.

The book is a distilliation of what she has learned through her award-winning podcast, Griefcast.

“I think we don’t talk about death enough, basically,” she says. “Even if we’re better than we were, say, 50 years ago, we don’t give space to grief. We don’t allow people to be sad. We kind of expect people after a year, maybe two years, to stop going on about it, even if we never say that out loud.”

You Are Not Alone is published by Bloomsbury Tonic and is available to buy from the Church House Bookshop: https://chbookshop.hymnsam.co.uk
