This week, I sit down with Tommy Martin who shares the deeply traumatic loss of his brother Chris who died suddenly from an asthma attack in front of him.

Tommy speaks openly about the shock of that moment, trying to save his brother by performing CPR, and the lasting impact that night had on him. He reflects on how the trauma changed him, how he tried to bury his grief, and how eventually it all caught up with him.

We also talk about the later loss of his father, and the complicated feelings that followed, including regret, reflection, and the weight of things left unsaid.

This is a powerful and honest conversation about trauma, sibling loss, father loss, and the importance of allowing yourself to feel what you’ve been carrying.

This week I sit down with Zoe Williams who shares the heartbreaking loss of her brother Lee who died from cancer at just 27 years old.

Zoe speaks openly about what it was like to watch her brother become ill at such a young age, the shock of losing him when life should have been stretching out in front of him, and the deep bond they shared as siblings.

She reflects on the aftermath of his death, the silence, and the space he left behind.

This is a tender and honest conversation about loosing someone far too soon, and learning how to carry them with you in the years that follow.

This week I sit down with Lyn Kennedy for an honest conversation about two very different but equally profound kinds of loss.

Lyn first speaks about her wonderful dad Peter who developed depression later in life and struggled openly with his mental health before dying by suicide. She reflects on what it was like to witness that decline, the impact it had on their family, and the shock and grief that follows such a complex loss.

We then move into Lyn’s own journey with secondary infertility, the seven-year struggle to have another baby and the emotional toll of longing, hope, and uncertainty. Lyn shares candidly about what that chapter looked like for her and where that journey has led.

This is a conversation about love, resilience, and the many forms grief can take, both sudden and slow, visible and invisible.
