A few months ago, I took part in my first podcast with my best friend and poet, Donna Ashworth.
We visited Strathcarron Hospice, close to where we live, to talk about grief, bereavement, and Donna’s poetry. The hospice is a very special place to me, as it’s where my mum spent her final weeks.
For anyone who has experience of hospice care, you’ll know how supportive and compassionate these spaces can be — and how incredible the people who work in them truly are.
It was a privilege to be back there, speaking openly about death and grief — conversations that are still often avoided, but so deeply needed.

It was such a lovely experience — what could be better than a heartfelt conversation with my best friend, and the wonderful Ailsa and Katy.
I hope it brings some comfort if you are grieving.
