Sibling loss with Nafeesa Arshad

This week I'm talking to Nafeesa Arshad, founder of Goodness Gracious Grief.I connected with Nafeesa over a year ago and I'm so pleased to finally be bringing you this episode. Shamefully for me, this is the first episode dedicated to sibling loss and it will certainly not be the last. Nafeesa lost her trail blazing sister, Saima Thompson back in the middle of the pandemic in 2020. In this episode we cover the silence around losing a sibling, what it's like grieving for someone who was well known & loved by many and navigating a very public display of mourning and we answer some of YOUR questions that you wrote in for Nafeesa where she shares some of her delicious wisdom and words.It's a truly intricate and interesting listen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved recording it!Nafeesa, thank you for sharing Saima with me. Your sister paved ways for many and you are too in your own right. Stay in your magic.Find Nafeesa and keep an eye out for her many fantastic events throughout this next year over at @goodnessgraciousgrief on IG.Big love always,Amber xxxJoin the conversation & community on...Instagram - @thegriefgangpodcastTwitter- @thegriefgangFacebook- The Grief GangIntro and outro music produced by Goodgoodgood Media.Editing by Ross Ramsey-Golding.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thegriefgang.
