Based on weekly video diaries I created in the year following my mother's death, this show takes you into the mind and heart of a grief therapist who confirms that there is no one way to 'do grief right'.

A post with the mid-blue Adelaide Fringe Festival frame enclosing a picture of a woman with white curly hair and text. " My mum died - RUDE!

The fabulous and fun Adelaide Fringe Festival is coming up next month - and you can see me there too!

A picture of two older women siting near over-head hair dryers with their hair in curlers. Text reads " I used a wind telephone at a funeral and felt so much better. The secret I'm glad I shared " The Dying to Know Day logo is at the bottom right.
Did you know that wind phones are a great source of comfort and support for those left behind after a death and are a staple of grief culture?
Yup.

We talked about end of life doulas, advance planning, grief, inclusive death care, and why a pet's death can be just as devastating as a human's.
What are your weekend plans??!

A grinning woman with white curly hair and a rainbow unicorn Oodies stands next to glass sliding doors reflecting green paddocks. To be honest, her makeup looks fabulous.
I had the BEST time recording with @catherine_ashton_critical of Critical Info this morning! (Not in an Oodie but Remy needed a walk)

It's not all forests and fresh air here in Tasmania.
This afternoon a senior police officer was fatally shot at a rural Motton property.
My condolences to his family and colleagues.

This happens when feckwits are allowed to run the serious, evidence-based science adult stuff in life.
I deal with enough death - expected & unexpected, older & younger people, assisted & unassisted - to have bandwidth for preventable deaths on the scale we are about to experience.

When I talk about working with complex, historical, disenfranchised griefs most people think it's intensely personal.
In all honesty, yes - it absolutely always is. And often layering and intersecting the personal are the macro levels of grief.

Death Literacy is essential for a good quality of life for every stage of life, including our end of life and dying. *

Main Character Energy and how not to be a dick!
I received so many comments and stories from my post on MCE and how not to do it when someone is grieving that this is now a series.
#GDEPAU #AskAnnetta #GriefWhisperer #grief #DontBeADick #MCE #MainCharacterEnergy
I've had a number of stories and comments come to me as a result of my recent video on Main Character Energy and grief.
I'm doing a series on this theme starting today, so stay tuned!

As a grief therapist I am not impressed by Sutton's concession speech focusing on dead family members being 'proud' of successful candidates.
Elections are won on policy merit and effort. Don't play on personal tragedy.

Waiting to donate blood on a lovely, sunny and crisp autumn day in Launceston. What are you up to today?
I'm coming up with new and interesting activities as I near my mother's deathiversary on the 5th.

Your daily reminder that sometimes grief can be sneaky and come up quietly when you aren't looking.
It's ok to be sad, to cry, to pause and feel your feelings. There's no time limit to grief, you are normal. Be kind to yourself 🫂

A picture of a dark background with cream coloured text and a silhouette of a dog with a red heart shape on it's chest. Text reads " Sorry, but I will only be speaking with my dog today "
Today was my mother's birthday, the second year without her.
I've been irritable, tired, moody and sad in the week or two leading up to today. Grief takes many forms and even with decades of experience as a therapist I am not immune.

A pale pink background with text and a dandelion wreath. Text says " Grief Therapy. Sometimes we need support for our grief. I am here to help. gdep.com.au "
Did you know that feelings of isolation in grief are normal and common? Grief is a tricksy beast!
