We also shared your comments on how you feel about becoming parents without yours around.This is definitely a situation we've talked about a lot on the DPC so it's been surreal to experience it myself first-hand.

Pregnant and grieving mum: with Kat Hooker and Emma Jones

So self-isolation is tough, right?But isolating whilst grieving.. now that's something else. And don't you guys know it!I asked you guys what you've learnt so far since being in self-isolation and so many of you came back to me with a whole load of different responses from how it's affected your grief journey and mental health to the impact it's had on your wellbeing and the world in general. In this podcast I speak about my experience so far and also about why self-isolation can be especially hard for young grieving adults/anyone in general! There are so many reasons why this could be negatively affecting your mental health including how we're genetically programmed and how being alone with our thoughts can be massively triggering. However, there are also so many positives to this period too! Just like in death and loss, there is always something beautiful that comes out of it if you look hard enough. And you guys have provided me with some amazing insights into how this time has been beneficial for you. Hope you enjoy it, guys! Don't forget to drop us a review on iTunes if you get the chance, I'd so appreciate it!! Instagram - @deadparentclubpodcast @kathryn_hookerFacebook - Dead Parent Club PodcastTwitter - @dpcpodcastEmail - dpcpodcast@hotmail.comWebsite - www.dpcpodcast.co.uk  Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deadparentclub.

Grieving in isolation and what you guys have learnt about yourselves so far; with Kat Hooker

We're baaaaaack!So sorry for the unexplained week off last week - we're juggling some serious difficulties with time zones and life getting all crazy!So this week we have a one-off solo episode with Kat!As you may have seen on our Instagram account last week, Kat posted a graphic saying 'When does grief become a mental illness?' and low and behold... it resonated with SO many of you! Unfortunately, grief often comes hand in hand with mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety but the difficulty comes in recognising when you're no longer just grieving but you've actually become mentally unwell.Kat unpicks the signs she experienced when this happened to her and the steps she's taken since to build a resilience against attacks on her mental wellbeing and to protect her mind and body including becoming more self-aware, treating her body with respect through feeding herself and moving often and tactics she's learnt over the years in order to live with her mental illness.
