Grief Magic: Rituals, Stories & Gentle Conversations about Loss

...I am not trying to be dramatic, but these things really have made such a big difference and I really wish I had embraced them earlier in my life, it would have made things so much easier.
From creating your own daily rituals to jomo, good boundaries and even better pyjamas I am sharing eight ways in which I adapt my everyday life to suit my neurodivergent brain.

This episode is for you if you feel a bit disconnected from your creativity and you want some easy, low energy ideas that can help you reconnect with this part of you.
You might have most of the things needed already at home and they're a great way to get ready for a softer season, mark the change of light and bring in some of the changing leafs.
If you like, you are also still welcome to join us for Glimmer Sessions: https://griefmagic.com/club/
Thank you for listening!

This is a little waffle episode - updates from my summer, tales of neurotic furniture moving, the slow timeline of creative dreams unfolding over years and what I am doing at the moment to stay connected to each moment and a sense of hope.

This week I'm continuing the Google-questions format and turning to something that comes up so often: why some friendships don't survive grief and loss.
Before I get into it, a reminder that Monday sessions are back, come as you are, no pressure, sliding scale, no one turned away for lack of funds: https://griefmagic.com/club/
I'm also now offering seasonal readings, a custom card pull with an audio recording, a picture, and a guided meditation you can return to again and again: https://griefmagic.com/grief-blessings/
I sit with three questions. Why do friendships fall apart during grief? I talk honestly about my own experience after my accident in 2020, becoming visibly disabled and navigating a friendship that struggled to hold space for how I was rethinking my future, and why sometimes a friendship falling away isn't a failure so much as a sign that your needs or values have genuinely shifted.
How do you ask for help without feeling like a burden? I unpack why that word does so much damage, and talk through what's helped me be more specific and vulnerable when asking for support, including a little detour into British politeness and pre-emptive excuse-making versus more direct ways of asking.
Why does grief make some friendships closer and others disappear? This is where I talk about the friendships I've built since losing my mum, the people who skip the small talk with me now, and why that kind of intimacy after loss feels so different and so good.
Thanks for listening!
