  • “Grief Comes in Waves… and the Guilt That Comes With Them”
    May 14 2026

    Grieving Greatly – Episode 6
    “The Guilt No One Talks About in Grief”

    There are parts of grief people expect…
    the sadness, the tears, the longing.

    But guilt often arrives quietly.

    The guilt of surviving.
    The guilt of laughing again.
    The guilt of not doing enough.
    The guilt of moments you wish you could change.
    And sometimes… the guilt of simply continuing to live when someone you love no longer can.

    In this deeply personal episode of Grieving Greatly, grief counsellor Jen Connors explores the hidden guilt that so many grieving people carry but rarely speak out loud about.

    This episode is a gentle reminder that grief and love are deeply connected… and that being human after loss does not mean you loved them any less.

    If you are grieving someone you love, I hope this episode helps you feel a little less alone.

  • Holding Us While We Fell Apart
    May 8 2026

    Episode 5 — The Grief No One Sees: A Grandmother’s Perspective

    In this deeply personal episode of Grieving Greatly, I sit down with my mum to talk about a side of grief that is rarely spoken about the grief carried by the people trying to hold everyone else together.

    After losing my son Harry, I was consumed by my own pain. What I didn’t fully understand at the time was the heartbreak my mum was carrying while watching her daughter and family fall apart around her.

    Together, we speak openly about:

    • losing a grandchild
    • helplessness and survival
    • silent grief within families
    • being “the strong one”
    • anger, fear and emotional exhaustion
    • friendships changing after loss
    • and how grief continues to shape life years later

    This conversation is raw, honest and filled with love. It is for anyone who has ever tried to stay strong for others while hurting deeply themselves.

    Because grief doesn’t just live in one person… it moves through entire families.

    If this episode resonates with you, please know you are not alone.

  • When the World Moves On… But You Don’t
    Apr 30 2026

    In the beginning, everyone is there.

    The messages.
    The flowers.
    The check-ins.

    But slowly…
    the world starts to move on.

    And you don’t.

    This episode explores the quiet, deeply painful part of grief that often comes after the initial support fades —
    when life returns to normal for everyone else… but you’re still living with loss.

    We talk about:

    • The loneliness that follows grief
    • Feeling forgotten or left behind
    • The pressure to “be okay”
    • Why grief has no timeline
    • And how to find support when the world doesn’t understand

    If this is where you are right now…
    this episode is for you.

    🤍 You are not doing grief wrong.
