In this episode of Trauma & Tea, we embark on a deeply emotional journey with our guest, Meg, as she bravely shares her experience of sudden loss and the profound impact it had on her life. With raw honesty, she recounts the heart-wrenching moment she received the call informing her of her mother's sudden death abroad. From there, she navigates the complex process of returning her mother's body home, facing the investigation, and arranging the funeral amidst overwhelming grief. She reflects on the financial strain, the responsibility of supporting her father, and the necessity of growing up fast in the face of tragedy. As she delves into the grieving process, she shares her deeply personal methods of healing, from writing letters to her mother to disposing of her belongings. Join us as we honour her mother's memory, and explore the profound resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable loss.
