I often hear grieving people describe their experience of grief 'like a tsunami' that just washes over them. This week's guest, Clemmie Clough, experienced the devastation first-hand of the 2004 tsunami when she was just a child. It was an event that would rob her of her mother and change the trajectory of her life. Clemmie talks about how the trauma of that event has stayed with her and how, as a young adult, she had to address the imprint of the event on her, both physically and psychologically. We talk about how alone people can feel after a very public community disaster, the importance of physical support and how we need to continue to open up these conversations of loss and grief, even years after loss.  Clemmie is co-host of the podcast 'how is today?' available at https://www.howistoday.com #grief #bereavement #childhoodbereavement #tsunami2004 #trauma #traumaticloss About Shapes of Grief: Shapes of Grief is an internationally recognized organization dedicated to enhancing competency around loss, grief and bereavement literacy.

Ep. 81 Clemmie Clough, childhood bereavement & life after the tsunami

In this episode Clemmie speaks to the English Cricket legend Andrew Strauss about his experience with loss and grief, after losing his wife Ruth Strauss in 2018. He introduces a concept of 'doing death well' which was incredibly important for Ruth before she died. And so they wonder - what would "doing grief well" look like? Andrew says: "it baffles me that it’s not more of an open conversation, that there’s not more social norms about what grieving is." We couldn't agree more. It's more conversations like this, with national heroes and your next-door neighbour that will crack this subject open so we can create a healthy, open culture about something we will all go through.

Sir Andrew Strauss OBE & Clemmie Clough 

In this episode of How Is Today, Clemmie asks her sister Nathalie some curious questions to break the silence around the grief of their mum Melanie who was killed in Thailand in the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami. Nathalie, Clemmie and a few others survived, but six friends including their mum did not. For the first time in over 10 years, they will be opening the conversation about grief to show how possible a conversation around grief can be. Even when it seems too difficult. Even when it seems like too much time has passed. Even when it’s emotional. What this episode also seeks to explain is that when you lose a parent, you lose one of your biggest cheerleaders in life. You lose your support system. Of course, there is the other parent left who, though they're doing an incredible job, is doing it without their partner. Without their left arm. What we want to leave people with is this: in grief, you need your team. Bigger than that, you need an army. This podcast is for the people this hasn’t happened to. We’re talking directly to you, the army. We need really, really healthy culture about grief. And we need you to get trained, to get us through. We'll be there for you.  Thank you for listening. This one is a big one.🐙

In the first episode of How Is Today, Alby and Clemmie replay the story of how they met - two strangers connected in a moment of serendipity. It was an evening that changed their lives, and set them on a two-year mission to reimagine grief. And understand the role a community can play in that difficult journey.  Hosted by Clemmie, with Alby in the guest-seat, they explore what it's like to lose a parent when young, and how they dealt with what happened next. And show how friends who ‘see your octopus’ can help. In this episode, learn how to help a friend who's grieving by asking "how is today?"  Because when we ask, we notice that today is different to yesterday. We see that when our friend is going through grief, every day is hard. Yesterday, might have been fine. And tomorrow? It's might be too big to think of. When you lose someone you love, your world tips upside-down and shakes all the good stuff out. As a friend, you help bring it back together. Remember, don't worry if you don't know what to say. Just ask a curious question, like: "how is today?" 🐙
