Grief is something that sadly affects us all at some point in our lives. It can be one of the most difficult experiences life throws at us.

I've talked on the blog and the podcast about my own experience of losing my dad in 2013 at the age of 45 and the impact this had on my family and I. This is a topic I would struggle to discuss on my own, which is why I am so grateful that Gylisa agreed to join me on the podcast to share her experience of losing her dad. 

Gylisa is an author and mummy blogger, known to her very loyal followers as 'rock n roll mother'. Based in Cornwall, Gylisa documents her life as a young mum, bluntly talking about the highs and lows that motherhood can bring, as well as life in general. Sadly, this includes her experience of losing her dad, Mark, when he was only 52.

As you can imagine, this is an emotional and potentially triggering podcast episode. Please do take care when listening to this conversation and explore the resources below if you need to:
