In this fifth episode of the Grieving Daughters Club Podcast, I sit down and talk to Charmaine who lost her mum to ovarian cancer in her 20s.
Charmaine reflects on her mother’s vibrant spirit, the heartbreak of her illness, and the raw emotions that surfaced in those early days of grief and how it has an impact now 13 years later.
Charmaine also shares how repressed grief showed up in her life, and what it meant to finally give herself permission to feel it. From the small comforting rituals that carried her through, to the way her grief has shifted over time, Charmaine’s story is both tender and powerful.
Most of all, Charmaine speaks about the importance of honouring her mum’s legacy, and offers gentle, heartfelt advice to other grieving daughters who may be navigating similar emotions.
If you’ve lost a parent and are trying to figure out how to keep living without them, this conversation will make you feel less alone.
We talk about:
Charmaine's story is honest, and emotional which I am sure any grieving daughter can relate to.
As part of Grieving Daughters Club I’ve created a free resource for you to download called: 10 Ways You Change After Losing a Parent. It’s full of truths no one warns you about, written from my own grief and experience as a therapist, I hope you find it useful.
