Losing a Mother During COVID Lockdown: Grief, Shock & Radical Compassion
In this powerful episode, Australian coach and podcast host Kate Galli shares the sudden and heartbreaking loss of her mother during the height of COVID-19 lockdowns. From closed borders to ICU restrictions, ambulance escorts, and navigating grief in total isolation, Kate brings us inside the emotional shock and unreal logistics that shaped her experience.
Together, we explore:
• Sudden loss and the trauma of not being able to say goodbye
• Grief during COVID and the loss of basic human connection
• Healing strained family relationships after tragedy
• Anger, compassion, and the transformation that grief demands
• How grief reshaped Kate’s activism, leadership, and entire worldview
• What her mother — and her mother’s cat Pango — taught her about love
This episode is a deeply moving reminder that grief forces us to grow in directions we never imagined — and that compassion, even in the smallest moments, can carry us through the unimaginable.
