TATG S2E8: What Happens When Someone Dies In The Diaspora | Season 2 Finale

In this season finale of To All the Girls Who Have Moved Before, we have a raw and heartfelt conversation about grief in the diaspora. Jessica and Seun sit with two guests - Ada and Zikora - living in Canada as they share the emotional experience of losing a close friend who had also moved from Nigeria. From breaking the news to her family back home to navigating funeral plans across continents, they reflect on the weight of responsibility and the pain of grieving so far from home.

Jessica also opens up about a deeply personal loss—her father passed away in Nigeria in 2020, while she was living in London during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. With no family nearby and the world on lockdown, she was forced to navigate the lonely and surreal process of grieving in isolation.

This episode holds space for the layered emotions of loss, love, and long-distance mourning. It’s about what it means to carry grief while living abroad—and how we find strength in community, even when home feels out of reach.
