Episode Synopsis

In my first (remote) podcast, I am joined by Gigi founder of the University's Cancer Coffee Mornings to talk about a timely and ever-pressing theme: Grief and Illness. Gigi movingly opens up about her experiences of grief whilst studying at UOB. She talks about the mixed experience: from absolute devastation and anger to personal growth and renewed appreciation. She offers some helpful advice to staff and students about how we can open up this necessary conversation about one of the unavoidable facts of life. Truly worth the listen.
