Grief can often be a taboo subject. We're not quite sure how to deal with it, what to do with people who are going through a grieving process and how best to support people who are grief stricken.

In this episode my guest Suzanne Jabour, a grief expert shares her own experience of grief after the loss of her son and strategies to support people you know who are grieving a loss.

We talk about:

  • How you can best support someone who is grieving
  • What the process of grief looks like
  • Why there's so much shame around grief
  • How to hold space when grief feels awkward
  • What NOT to say to someone who's grieving
  • The value of learning to name your emotions
  • The timeline of grief


This was such a valuable conversation to have. As someone who is very awkward around grief, I learnt a huge amount from my chat with Suzanne.
