What is it like to grieve in your teens? Olivia (19) and Daisy (13) both lost their dads when they were 12. While Olivia took some time off school to process her grief and returned with a reduced timetable, Daisy threw herself straight back in, finding school a distraction. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground. The conversation covers telling teachers, friends and classmates about their bereavement, dealing with tricky situations, and their coping mechanisms, including routines, journaling and having a support teacher.

Content warning: mentions alcoholism, cancer, and death throughout.
