Welcome to the gang, the one you never asked to be part of.
The Grief Gang podcast was born from heartbreak but thrives on connection. Created by host Amber Jeffrey after the unexpected loss of her mother at just 19, this show dives headfirst into the messy, confusing, and sometimes even humorous world of grief. Amber started this journey to find people who “just get it” and to share the ever-changing experience of living with loss.
Through raw and relatable storytelling, Amber shares her highs, lows, and everything in between—the funny, the frustrating, and the downright overwhelming. Alongside her own journey, the podcast features guests from all walks of life, opening up about their grief—be it the loss of a parent, child, sibling, partner, or others close to their hearts. This isn’t just a podcast; it’s a reminder that you’re never alone in your feelings and never have to face grief alone.
Expect to cry, laugh (a lot), and walk away with hope—hope that life after loss isn’t just possible but can be extraordinary.
Celebrated by the likes of BBC, Channel 5, Vogue, and Women’s Health UK & Australia, The Grief Gang has become a global voice in breaking the silence around grief. Amber’s dedication to this mission has seen her deliver talks, panel discussions, and workshops at institutions like Cambridge and Oxford University, Westminster, and corporations such as Apple and Starbucks.

What happens when the loss of a parent in childhood leaves more questions than answers? In this episode, I'm chatting with Alvin Carpio, film maker and campaigner as we explore his journey to the Philippines in 2022 to retrace the life of his late father who died when Alvin was 9 years old.
Through the lens of childhood bereavement, we follow Alvin in his film 'Rites' on his emotional pilgrimage to the country his father called home. Piecing together memory, his father's and his own identity and what continuing a bond with him now looks like. Alvin shares with us in this episode the layers, complexities and journey of what it is like to be a bereaved child and how that experience has shaped him throughout his life.
About Alvin:
Alvin Carpio is a campaigner and filmmaker. He is the founder of the School of Social Justice and director of rites, a short documentary film about childhood bereavement, grief, and healing. Born and raised in Newham, East London, Alvin’s work is currently focused on how people can face their demons in order to achieve liberation — drawing from his own journey of confronting grief to find freedom and purpose.
