Grief has a way of turning your life upside down, and then just when you think you’re getting a grip, it hands you a “new normal” that no one prepared you for. In this episode, we’re talking about the things people don’t tell you about grief—the insomnia, the random bursts of anxiety, and why a simple phone call can now send us into a full-blown panic. (Seriously, just text us!)

We share the quirks and chaos of how grief has quietly wormed its way into the most unexpected parts of our lives. You’ll hear about the irrational fears, the bad habits, and the weird emotional baggage we’ve picked up along the way—and somehow, we’ve learned to laugh about it (most of the time).

This isn’t your typical “grief talk.” It’s raw, ridiculous, and all about finding humor in the things nobody warns you about. Because honestly, if this is the “new normal,” we’re going to need a bit more wine and a lot more snacks.

Tune in now for all the unfiltered truths about grief and a few laughs along the way!

Grief has a funny way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it—like in the middle of a mundane conversation or during a random tv show scene. In this episode, we’re sharing some of our own funny, touching, and downright bizarre stories of when grief hit us out of nowhere.

We’ll also talk about the emotional rollercoaster of losing a parent, why those moments are so unpredictable, and how to embrace the chaos of emotions (even when it feels impossible).

Tune in for laughs, relatable moments, and maybe a few tears. Let’s navigate the mess together!

We’ll also chat about how humour can help break the tension and share tips for handling those awkward moments—whether with grace, sarcasm, or a laugh. If you’ve ever been on the receiving end of a grief-related word-vomit, this one’s for you!
