Welcome to the very first episode of the wr talk podcast. I really did think about starting with something subtle or fun but after experiencing grief first-hand late last year in December when I lost my superwoman (mum) and seeing a couple of my very dear friends experience loss it became a preferred topic for me to start with. 

When I lost my mum, I felt pains that I had never felt before, Labour suddenly felt like a walk in the park compared to what I felt. I felt betrayed, disappointed, angry, even ashamed I just could not comprehend why that had to happen . I had and still have the most amazing people around me both family and friends turned family who have made the journey a lot easier  but am i over it? The answer is NO i'm still healing, i'm working on myself as well as rebuilding my faith as mum would have wanted.

Grief also known as Mourning and Bereavement is a natural response to loss. I will describe it as the feeling of INTENSE sorrow caused by the death of a loved one with whom a bond had been formed when they were alive. Grief can be complicated and could make a person wonder if the pain they feel will ever end. One starts to feel mixed emotions such as disappointment, anger, confusion and sadness but is their light at the end of the tunnel?  On this two-part episode we will be discussing -

* Faith and grief. *Grieving for a loved one who is still alive.

*The five stages of grief.

*Grief management and treatments.

*How to keep your loved ones alive forever even after losing them to death.

Please join us next week Friday 9:30pm(GMT) for the concluding part when we would be talking to our very first guest who would be educating us more about grief and its possible effect on our mental health.
