Sally and Imogen met in a grief support group after both of their mother’s passed suddenly.

Through their loss, a silver lining appeared as a beautiful friendship began that bonded them for life.

From their experience they launched the podcast, Good Mourning, to help make grief a topic that people talk about authentically.

Now they’ve taken the topic of grief to the written page in their book, Good Mourning: Honest Conversations About Grief and Loss.
