Does therapy matter? When should you go and see a counsellor? Who do you go and see? What's the point of seeing someone? 

In this episode Josh shares some of his experience with seeing a counsellor help with his journey of grief. It was awkward and uncomfortable at times but so worth it! Seeing a professional became a safe space to be completely open and transparent. It helped him learn more about the way his brain was wired, the reason he thought a certain way and gave tools for walking through grief.

How are you supposed to scatter the ashes of someone you love? Is there a playbook for how to handle grief? This moment felt like the close of one chapter of grief and the beginning of a big long journey. 

It was Josh's last day in Australia and after his family decided to cremate his mum's body he woke up early one morning to go scatter some of her ashes. There he sat looking at the ocean, feeling the cocktail of all the emotions. Trying to remember some of his memories with his mum. Let his mind wander about the future. What would his life look like without his mum? Up until this moment, it felt like she was gone on a holiday or he was just having a bad dream. But this bad dream was very quickly sinking in as his reality as he held his mum's ashes knowing that she wasn't coming back. She was gone. 

Listen to this podcast to hear what that moment felt like scattering his mum's ashes.
