Grieving our mum: a conversation with my brother, Kyle.

It’s the final episode of this season 3. And it’s with my big brother, Kyle.The only other person in this world who truly knows what it is like to live without our mum. I’ve wanted to record an episode with him from the very beginning if I’m honest, but the time was never right. We just weren’t ready to sit down with each other and really look at each other and see the devastation in one another’s face. The reality that we’re even having this conversation about her. Mum was something to a lot of people. She embodied the word community. A walking, talking safe place for many. But she was our mumIt was tough but relieving to sit down & talk to my brother. To hear how that day played out for him in his eyes & being honest about the way we dealt with the aftermath. How we fell apart to come back together again and what it’s like being the oldest sibling when a parent dies. We answered some of your questions too, with some humorous, surprising answers from himI learnt so much about him and likewise him about me. I didn’t know the hardest part for him was leaving the hospital. And he didn’t know the hardest part for me was seeing her body. If there’s one thing I hope you take away from this episode, it’s to ask the questions.Have the conversation. You may not get the answers you need or want, but have the bloody conversation. Don’t leave it till it’s too late. It’s not as bad as you think.Thank you for listening and being here for this season. It's been my most consistent season yet and I'm proud! I'll be back in September with the WEEKLY season 4.
