“I’ve been listening to this podcast for a year and have generally really enjoyed it. My mother died in early 2020 and it’s been great to hear people talk about a topic that just isn’t spoken about it. I find hearing people’s experiences reassuring. However, I found the Jill Halfpenny episode a bit irritating. It was all therapy-speak e.g terms like “hold the space” and “grief work”. It also sounded preachy. There is no set way to grieve, and anger and irritation are just as normal as crying. And if some people take the view that the death of their parent as a child didn’t affect it, then that’s for them to determine. This show is best when you have two people using ordinary language to describe their experiences. Stop the arm chair psychology.”
