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.
