Receiving a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease or any long-term health condition can change every aspect of your life. But alongside the physical challenges, there is another loss that is rarely talked about – grieving the life, identity and future you thought you would have.

In this powerful episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, Dee Moore is joined by renal psychologist Dr Emma Coyne, who has spent more than a decade supporting people living with kidney disease. Together they explore the emotional impact of chronic illness, why grief is a completely normal response to diagnosis, and how acceptance doesn’t mean giving up hope.

Drawing on both clinical expertise and real-life experiences of kidney patients, Dr Emma explains why emotions such as shock, denial, anger, sadness and fear are all part of the journey. She also shares practical strategies to help you navigate difficult emotions, develop psychological resilience and begin moving forward while living with a chronic illness.

Whether you’re living with chronic kidney disease (CKD), on dialysis, have had a kidney transplant, care for someone with kidney disease, or are supporting people with any long-term condition, this conversation offers compassionate insight, reassurance and hope.

In this episode you’ll discover:

This is an episode full of honesty, compassion and practical advice that reminds us that while kidney disease may change our lives, it does not define who we are.
