Don't Walk w/ Alice Franklin - 03.06.24 - Voices Radio

It's been two and a half years since losing my parents, and the start of year two has been incredibly tough. Grief isn't linear, and I'm really starting to feel that. The disbelief of the first year has faded, and as time passes, people naturally check in less, and life goes on; it's clear that this is just something I live with now, daily, and I've found it incredibly overwhelming to wrap my head around. It sounds weird to say this is just hitting me now, but I've been on autopilot and that defence mechanism has faded, and now that mask has dropped and I've come to terms with how different my life is from then, it's actually quite hard to sum up how that feels. It's knocked me back quite a lot this year, but I'm finding I'm starting to feel a little more stable. I'm re-airing my first episode so any new listeners can understand the show's beginnings, and I'm excited to get back into a groove with interviewing my next guests.
