After one of the most powerful conversations we’ve ever had on The Life of Bryony, Rhian Mannings returns to share the three things that helped her survive unthinkable loss and begin to find her way through grief. She shares how small acts of kindness, tough love from friends, and the courage to keep showing up made all the difference in her healing. And we laugh about lasagnas left on doorsteps, reflect on how grief changes what really matters, and talk about the simple, surprising things that can carry us through the darkest days. It’s a tender, funny, and deeply human conversation that reminds us there’s no right way to survive loss – only small glimmers that light the way forward.
