What is OCD and how is it linked to grief? Ghislaine and Nell talk about some of their obsessive behaviours, the fear that if they don’t do certain things then someone they love will die, and how they feel these tendencies are an effect of their grief. In this bonus episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground. The conversation covers how OCD is often misunderstood, why it’s easier to talk to a stranger than your family and using humour to cope with grief.  

Content warning: mentions OCD and death throughout. 

This episode was recorded over Zoom.
