Christmas Grief: Coping With Loss During the Festive Season
Sobre este podcast
Hello, I’m Sarah Mc Ginn, and you’re listening to Life's Too Short
Grief changes everything - your beliefs, your purpose, your sense of time. This podcast explores those changes through honest conversations with people who have lived through the unimaginable, as well as solo reflections from me on my own journey with loss.
Each week we share stories of what grief takes, what it gives, and how it reshapes the way we live. These conversations can be raw and difficult, but also full of love, laughter, and unexpected hope.
Because as we all know - life is too short.
