    Series 1, Ep. 4 - I Know You'd Be Proud

    · Diary, She Wrote

    This is a sad episode about grief, a subject that can be really hard to talk about, but it’s so important that we make sure these everyday life circumstances are shared and made normal. I am so grateful that I captured my emotions in my diaries during the loss of someone close to me, often when you look back at a time of trauma, everything feels blurred. Cheryl Strayed said that writing forces you to locate your clarity.’ It really does, it’s something I would recommend to anyone going through grief.

    The readings are taken over 20 years from 1997 when I was 15 to 2017 when I was 35.
