Together, they explore a kind of grief that often goes unseen:

The grief of surviving.

Not just grief through death, but grief through trauma, identity loss, mental health struggles, relationship breakdowns, chronic stress, physical health challenges, and the parts of ourselves we lose along the way.

Nathan shares openly about:

•  Military life and identity loss 
•  Mental health and invisible grief 
•  Relationships, divorce, and isolation 
•  Weight loss and body image 
•  Chronic stress and survival 
•  AFL as both connection and lifeline 
•  Learning how to keep going when life changes you forever 

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like they lost parts of themselves while trying to survive life.

Because grief isn’t always about losing someone.

Sometimes it’s about losing who you used to be.

There are parts of grief people expect…
 the sadness, the tears, the longing.

But guilt often arrives quietly.

The guilt of surviving.
 The guilt of laughing again.
 The guilt of not doing enough.
 The guilt of moments you wish you could change.
 And sometimes… the guilt of simply continuing to live when someone you love no longer can.

In this deeply personal episode of Grieving Greatly, grief counsellor Jen Connors explores the hidden guilt that so many grieving people carry but rarely speak out loud about.

This episode is a gentle reminder that grief and love are deeply connected… and that being human after loss does not mean you loved them any less.

If you are grieving someone you love, I hope this episode helps you feel a little less alone.

In this deeply personal episode of Grieving Greatly, I sit down with my mum to talk about a side of grief that is rarely spoken about the grief carried by the people trying to hold everyone else together.

After losing my son Harry, I was consumed by my own pain. What I didn’t fully understand at the time was the heartbreak my mum was carrying while watching her daughter and family fall apart around her.

Together, we speak openly about:

•  losing a grandchild 
•  helplessness and survival 
•  silent grief within families 
•  being “the strong one” 
•  anger, fear and emotional exhaustion 
•  friendships changing after loss 
•  and how grief continues to shape life years later 

This conversation is raw, honest and filled with love. It is for anyone who has ever tried to stay strong for others while hurting deeply themselves.

Because grief doesn’t just live in one person… it moves through entire families.

If this episode resonates with you, please know you are not alone.

The messages.
 The flowers.
 The check-ins.

But slowly…
 the world starts to move on.

And you don’t.

This episode explores the quiet, deeply painful part of grief that often comes after the initial support fades —
 when life returns to normal for everyone else… but you’re still living with loss.

We talk about:

• The loneliness that follows grief 
• Feeling forgotten or left behind 
• The pressure to “be okay” 
• Why grief has no timeline 
• And how to find support when the world doesn’t understand 

If this is where you are right now…
 this episode is for you.

🤍 You are not doing grief wrong.

In this episode of Grieving Greatly, I talk about the quiet, often unspoken shifts that happen after loss, between partners, family members, friends… and even within yourself.

Why does it feel like people grieve so differently?
 Why do some relationships grow stronger, while others feel like they’re falling apart?
 And why can you feel so alone, even when you're not?

This episode explores:

• The impact of grief on relationships and connection 
• Differences in grieving styles and misunderstandings 
• The pressure to “move on” vs. your lived reality 
• Feeling disconnected from others—and from yourself 
• Learning how to navigate relationships while grieving 

If you’ve ever felt like no one quite understands your grief this episode is for you.

🤍 You are not too much
 🤍 You are not alone
 🤍 And you are allowed to grieve in your own way

In this episode of Grieving Greatly, I share what it was like in the days after losing my son, Harry—when the world expected us to start making decisions, planning a funeral, and somehow keep going while completely falling apart.

This is the part of grief no one prepares you for.

The practical reality.
 The conversations.
 The unbearable weight of making choices for someone you love who should still be here.

I talk about what those days felt like for me and my family—how we navigated saying goodbye to Harry, and how grief and responsibility collided in ways that felt impossible to carry.

If you’ve been through this, you’ll know how disorienting and surreal it can be.
 If you haven’t, this episode may help you better understand what someone in grief is truly experiencing beneath the surface.

You don’t have to have the right words.
 You just have to be there.

In this deeply personal first episode of Grieving Greatly, I share the story of losing my son, Harry, suddenly—just before Christmas—and the shock that followed.

The world kept moving. People kept talking. Life continued as if nothing had changed. But mine had completely stopped.

Harry was the most beautiful little boy—he loved animals, especially ladybugs and turtles, and he brought so much light into our lives. When he died, that light was gone, and our family was left shattered.

I open up about what those early days of grief really felt like—the numbness, the disorientation, and the unbearable reality of learning to live without him. I also talk about the well-meaning things people say in grief… and why they can feel so isolating when you’re in the middle of it.

If you’re grieving, or supporting someone who is, this episode will help you feel less alone—and better understand what grief truly looks like at the beginning.

This is not about fixing grief.
 It’s about sitting in it… together.
