How do the waves of grief impact teenagers and young adults? Grace’s dad died when she was eight, she’s now 23 and reflecting on how her life is entwined with her grief. Daisy’s dad died when she was 12, and she’s processing the ups and downs of her grief nearly two years on. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground. They discuss ways they remember their dads, how they maintain their connections to them, and discovering grief as a superpower.

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