In this deeply moving episode of The Grief Lounge, Sadie shares her honest experience of navigating the difficult emotions around her son's 18th birthday, a milestone made heavier by loss and the absence of his father. As a solo parent, she talks about the unique challenges of marking significant moments while carrying the weight of grief alone. Sadie reflects on how birthdays and other milestones can bring unexpected waves of sorrow and reflection, especially when trying to create some sense of normality for her son amid family struggles.Listeners will hear about the power of remembrance and storytelling in keeping loved ones close, even when they are no longer physically present. Sadie highlights that grief does not follow a clear timeline and often changes shape during key life events, encouraging families and communities to have open conversations about loss. This episode offers emotional support, practical coping ideas, and a reminder that it is okay to take time for yourself while working through the ongoing process of healing.If you have experienced loss or are supporting someone through grief, this episode provides a compassionate perspective on holding space for both joy and sorrow, especially within the realities of solo parenting and family milestones.Join The Grief Lounge community here https://www.facebook.com/groups/thegrieflounge/Follow me on Instagram here @the_grief_coach_ukVisit my website here www.thegriefcoachuk.com

We go through the highs and lows of that final round again and analyse where it was won and lost, with more than a tip of the Peter Millar cap to Justin Rose who has been rather lost in the Rory story. Iain joins in midway through after his two hours of sleep and before another full day of broadcasting duties, to talk about a win which has captured the imagination far beyond the world of hardcore golf fans and the trio wonder what McIlroy might now go on to achieve...In association with www.petermillar.co.ukVisit https://biggolfrace.prostatecanceruk.org/The Chipping Forecast Instagram: @chippingforecast Hosted on Acast.
