In this final episode of Dying for a Cuppa before a summer break, we’re talking about the ultimate gift you can give your people – talking about death. It might feel hard, but opening up these conversations brings peace, clarity, and understanding. It’s a gift for those we love, easing their grief and giving them something solid to hold on to when everything else feels shaky.

I know many don’t want to talk, but this only makes things worse, trust me. Even a few things written down on a post it nite is better than nothing.

Thank you for being here with me – I’ll be back in September with fresh episodes and some exciting new things to share. Until then, keep talking, keep sharing, and keep showing up for the stuff that matters 🙏🏼

This week on Dying for a Cuppa, we’re diving into the world of personal care. The practical, intimate, human stuff. We talk about the importance of knowing what might need to be done, what you might need and the emotional weight it can carry for both the person giving and receiving support. We need to know this may fall on us.

It’s about dignity, respect and understanding. It’s ok if it easy for you, it is ok that it is not.

It’s a hard task but one we must understand and talk about.

Anticipatory Grief & Secondary Losses

In this episode of Dying for a Cuppa, we’re talking about the grief that shows up before someone dies — anticipatory grief — and the ripple effects of secondary losses that follow. Whether it’s the loss of future plans, roles, routines, or identity, these hidden layers of grief often go unspoken. Let’s name them, explore them, and make space for them over a cuppa.
