Parental grief doesn’t always stem from the loss of a biological parent. It’s your grief, your story - do it your way; with Nicole Kate

Welcome to another episode of the Dead Parent Club podcast!

Here in the DPC, we're more than aware that dead parent grief doesn't always stem from the death of a biological parent. You may have been brought up by grandparents, step parents or grandparents, cousins, aunties, siblings, adopted parents etc. And it's important to know that your grief is VALID - no matter the loss.

This week I interviewed Nicole Kate. Her Nan's partner, Ken, brought her up alongside her Nan since she was 4 years old - and they are the only real parental figures she's ever had. When she was 17, Ken passed away as a result of a stroke and she suddenly had to grow up very quickly. With people talking her grief down because he wasn't her biological Grandad or parent, Nicole found it hard to get validity for her grief from other people.

This is a beautiful episode about missing your loved one, and feeling devastated that they have never got to see us turn into the people we are today. Nicole's grandparents instilled a real sense of appreciation and kindness into her, and you can really hear that in this episode.

We hope you enjoy it.
