Is it easier or harder to cope with grief away from home? 14 years after Grace’s dad died, she spent a whole summer abroad, which is the longest she’s ever been away from her mum. Nell went travelling just a few months after her sister died, and they both found that grief affected their travels in several ways. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground. The conversation covers how hard it is being away from those who know and understand your grief, unexpected emotions, from anxiety to jealousy, and their realisation that being away from home doesn’t ‘fix’ your grief.
