Holding Space for Grief: A Conversation on Afterlife Cafe TV

There are conversations that stay with you, not because of what was said, but because of how it felt to be held while saying it.
Recently, I had the honour of speaking with Helen Peacock on Afterlife Cafe TV, where we explored what it truly means to hold space for grief and support the healing process after loss.
It was one of those rare conversations where nothing needed to be rushed, explained away, or softened for the comfort of others. It was a space where grief could simply… be.
We spoke about grief not as something to fix, but something to allow. To honour. To move with gently, and in our own time.
This is at the heart of the grief journey, learning that healing after loss isn’t about “moving on,” but about finding ways to live with grief, where love and loss can coexist.
I shared parts of my personal grief journey; the losses that changed me, and the quiet, unfolding path that followed. Not a path I would have chosen, but one I now walk with intention, supporting others in their own grief, and creating spaces where they feel seen, supported, and not alone.
