Welcome back to Grief in Common, it’s season 4! Jess (21) appears on the podcast for the first time alongside Grace (24). Both were bereaved of their dads and find comfort in humour and speaking openly about their experiences. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground. The conversation covers traditions at funerals, sitting exams straight after, and the unexpected perks of being in the dead dad club.
