This week I'm talking to Nafeesa Arshad, founder of Goodness Gracious Grief. I connected with Nafeesa over a year ago and I'm so pleased to finally be bringing you this episode. Shamefully for me, this is the first episode dedicated to sibling loss and it will certainly not be the last. Nafeesa lost her trail blazing sister, Saima Thompson back in the middle of the pandemic in 2020. In this episode we cover the silence around losing a sibling, what it's like grieving for someone who was well known & loved by many and navigating a very public display of mourning and we answer some of YOUR questions that you wrote in for Nafeesa where she shares some of her delicious wisdom and words. It's a truly intricate and interesting listen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved recording it! Nafeesa, thank you for sharing Saima with me. Your sister paved ways for many and you are too in your own right. Stay in your magic. Find Nafeesa and keep an eye out for her many fantastic events throughout this next year over at @goodnessgraciousgrief on IG.

Sibling loss with Nafeesa Arshad

Welcome to the gang, the one you never asked to be part of. The Grief Gang podcast was born from heartbreak but thrives on connection. Created by host Amber Jeffrey after the unexpected loss of her mother at just 19, this show dives headfirst into the messy, confusing, and sometimes even humorous world of grief. Amber started this journey to find people who “just get it” and to share the ever-changing experience of living with loss. Through raw and relatable storytelling, Amber shares her highs, lows, and everything in between—the funny, the frustrating, and the downright overwhelming. Alongside her own journey, the podcast features guests from all walks of life, opening up about their grief—be it the loss of a parent, child, sibling, partner, or others close to their hearts. This isn’t just a podcast; it’s a reminder that you’re never alone in your feelings and never have to face grief alone. Expect to cry, laugh (a lot), and walk away with hope—hope that life after loss isn’t just possible but can be extraordinary. Celebrated by the likes of BBC, Channel 5, Vogue, and Women’s Health UK &amp; Australia, The Grief Gang has become a global voice in breaking the silence around grief. Amber’s dedication to this mission has seen her deliver talks, panel discussions, and workshops at institutions like Cambridge and Oxford University, Westminster, and corporations such as Apple and Starbucks.
