| 5/26/26 | Mother Loss, Grief, Healing and Self-Sabotage After Bereavement with Sacha Hughes | In this episode of The Grief Lounge, I’m joined by author Sacha Hughes for a conversation about mother loss, grief, healing and the ways bereavement can shape our lives long after someone dies.Sacha lost her mum to cancer when she was just 24 years old and in this conversation she speaks so openly about what happened afterwards. The grief, the self-sabotage, the drinking, the partying, searching for love, trying to outrun the pain and eventually finding herself again.We speak about grief after losing a parent, the impact bereavement has on your mental health, identity loss, relationships, motherhood, spirituality and learning how to live alongside grief rather than fighting against it.Sacha also shares the story behind her novel Love, Grief and More Sex Than Pinot, inspired by her own experiences of grief, healing and self-discovery.Although the book has humour, chaos and funny moments running through it, underneath it I could really feel the loneliness of grief and the ways we sometimes try to distract ourselves from pain we don’t yet know how to carry.For me, the character feels lost in so many ways. Trying to outrun grief, trying to fill the emptiness, trying to find herself again in a world that no longer feels the same.Because grief is messy. It changes you. It cracks you open and leaves you trying to rebuild around the missing pieces.This episode will resonate if you have experienced:mother lossgrief after losing a parentcancer bereavementemotional trauma after lossself-sabotage and griefgrief and alcoholloneliness after losshealing after bereavementidentity loss after griefcomplicated griefmental health struggles after lossAs always on The Grief Lounge, this is an honest conversation about grief, love, loss and the reality of trying to rebuild your life after losing someone you love.Guest: Sacha HughesBook: Love, Grief and More Sex Than PinotIf you would like to connect with Sacha you can find her website here:- www.sachahughes.cominstagram https://www.instagram.com/sachahughes/facebook page https://www.facebook.com/SachaHughesAuthor?locale=en_GBlink to purchase Love, Grief and More Sex Than Pinot https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=love+grief+and+more+sex+than+pinot&crid=32NTM2G31DTL4&sprefix=love+grief+%2Caps%2C128&ref=nb_sb_ss_mvt-t11-ranker_1_11You can find me - Sadie over on my website www.thegriefcoachuk.comor connect via instagram @the_grief_coach_ukIf you would like to join The Grief Lounge Community over on facebook click the link here https://www.facebook.com/groups/thegrieflounge/ | — | ||||||
| 5/19/26 | Grief Poetry, Mother Loss and Suicide Grief with Sara Rian | In this episode of The Grief Lounge, I am joined by Sara Rian, a grief poet, self published author, licensed therapist, mother, wife and griever.Sara began writing grief poetry after the death of her mum in 2018. Her mum died by suicide, and in this conversation Sara shares so openly about that loss, the trauma around it, and the deep love and connection she had with her mum.I first came across Sara’s words on Instagram, and they were one of those accounts that just stopped me. The kind of words that feel so deeply relatable they almost feel like home.We talk about mother loss, suicide grief, attachment, trauma, and what it means to grieve someone you loved deeply, and the kind of love that holds both the beauty and the hard parts.Sara shares how writing became a way for her to put words to something that felt impossible to hold. Her poems have reached so many people in the grief community because they say the things many of us feel but cannot always explain.We also talk about the grief community online, why it can feel easier to be understood by strangers, and how creativity can give grief somewhere to land.Sara also shares the work she is doing around grief poetry workshops, creating spaces where people can write, share and feel seen in their grief.This conversation is raw, warm and honest. It is about grief, but also about love, connection, community and the words that help us feel less alone.If you have experienced mother loss, suicide loss, complicated grief, or have ever found comfort in poetry after loss, this episode is for you.If you would like to read the poem that Sara read in the episode click the link here:-https://www.instagram.com/p/DVROaG6jvX-/?igsh=dW93aXg3ZG44YmRsYou can find Sara via her website www.sararianbooks.com on her facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/sararianbooks/) over on Substack https://sararianbooks.substack.com/ or on Instagram @sara_rian_booksYou can join the waitlist for the next Poetry workshops here:-https://thememorycircle.com/#waitlistIf you would like to join The Grief Lounge community page please join here https://www.facebook.com/groups/thegrieflounge/If you would like to make contact with me you can do so through my website www.thegriefcoachuk.com or via Instragram @the_grief_coach_uk | — | ||||||
| 5/5/26 | I Wrote a Chapter for You and It Arrived on Your Birthday. Grieving a Partner, Signs and Life After Loss | This week’s episode of The Grief Lounge is a deeply personal one.Today would have been Chris’s 55th birthday, and this is my third birthday without him.I felt called to record this episode to share what it really feels like to navigate grief on birthdays and special days. The build-up, the decisions, and the reality of trying to honour someone you love while also holding your own needs and the needs of your children.I talk about the time my son and I spent remembering Chris, the moments that felt beautiful, and the ones that completely broke my heart.There were also moments that felt like connection. I asked for a sign the night before, and on the journey to the coast, two of the songs from Chris’s funeral played on the radio. Moments like that are hard to explain, but they stay with you.This episode also holds something very special. On Chris’s birthday, I received my copy of The Feminine Arts, the book I have co-authored. Reading my chapter, where I write about Chris, our story and the life we built together, on his birthday felt deeply emotional and significant. More than coincidence, it felt like connection.This episode speaks to anyone grieving a partner, navigating birthdays and anniversaries after loss, or trying to make sense of the signs, love and connection that can continue after someone has died.It is about grief, love, memory, and the reality of living a life you never expected to be living.If you would like to purchase The Feminine Arts book to read the chapter here is the link https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GWWTX1DF I hope you enjoy it.Please know you do not have to walk through grief alone.

| 3/9/26 |  Series 3 Episode 2 - Holding Memory in Your Hands: Keeping Them Close Through Grief | In this episode I sit down with Mary Tomlinson, the founder of Mary Ellen Jewellery, and we have one of those conversations that just flows. The kind where grief is not dressed up or fixed. It is simply shared.Mary began creating bespoke cremation and ceremonial jewellery after losing her dad. What started as her own way of staying connected to him slowly became a business rooted in love, memory and deep care. She talks about the emotional process of working with families, how personal each piece is, and why communication and trust matter so much when someone is handing over something so precious.We speak about what it means to keep someone close. Not in a metaphorical way, but in a physical, tangible way. Something you can hold. Something you can wear. Something that carries story.But this conversation is about more than jewellery.It is about what grief asks of us. About how loss can change the direction of your life. About the spiritual side of missing someone and the quiet ways they still feel present. We talk about friendships shifting after loss, about mindset, about intuition, and about learning to live differently after someone you love has gone.If you have ever felt the need to create something to honour your person, this episode will speak to you. Whether that is jewellery, art, writing, planting a tree, or simply finding your own ritual.This is a conversation between two women who understand that grief is not something to fix. It is something to carry. And sometimes, to create from.I hope you feel seen in it.Thank you for taking the time to listen.

| 3/3/26 | Season 3 Begins: Two Years of Love, Loss and The Grief Lounge | Today marks two years since I launched The Grief Lounge.In this opening episode of Season 3 I take a moment to pause, reflect and honour what these last two years have held. Two years of living without Chris. Two years of learning how to be a widow. Two years of showing up behind this microphone and speaking honestly about grief, loss, death and everything in between.I share what those early days of grief really felt like. The fog, the physical pain, the shock of surviving something you never imagined you would have to. I speak directly to those of you who are in that place right now, in the trenches, wondering how you will make it through the day.I also reflect on how I have changed. How grief has shaped me. How I have grown stronger with my boundaries, more intentional with my time and more protective of my energy. I talk about guilt, about learning to feel joy again without shame, and about refusing to hide my grief to make other people comfortable.This episode is a thank you to those who have walked alongside me since the very beginning. And it is a message of hope to those who are just starting out.Grief does not disappear. But it changes shape. And so do we.Welcome to Season 3.If you would like to work with me or connect you can find me on my website www.thegrieflounge.com or you can connect on instagram @the_grief_coach_ukOr if you are looking for a community of fellow grievers come and join us in The Grief Lounge Community Group on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/thegrieflounge/ | — | ||||||

| 8/28/25 | S2 E10 -Gather, Wonder, Love: Reflections on the Second Anniversary of Loss | In this episode, Sadie shares something deeply personal. On the second anniversary of her husband’s death, she returned to the beach in Norfolk, a place filled with memories and where she always feels connected to him. She spent time with her morning rituals – journaling, pulling cards, and sitting with her grief. The words she pulled that day were gather, wonder, and love. They felt powerful as she gathered her thoughts and memories, wondered where he might be and if he would be proud of her, and sat with the love that will always remain.Grief is heavy, and anniversaries can feel especially hard. But what Sadie is learning, and what she hopes this episode offers listeners, is that love can sit alongside the pain. We can gather our broken pieces, hold space for wonder, and lean into love as we remember those we’ve lost.For anyone navigating grief, feeling the weight of anniversaries, or needing to know they are not alone, this episode offers compassion, connection, and hope.If you would like to visit my website here is the link www.thegriefcoachuk.comFollow on Instagram here @the_grief_coach_ukOr join the Grief Lounge community here https://www.facebook.com/groups/thegrieflounge/ | — | ||||||
