Discovering the meaningful connection between grief and food after losing both parents; with Alex Locker

Discovering the meaningful connection between grief and food after losing both parents; with Alex Locker

In this week’s episode I'm joined by Alex Locker from The Grief Kitchen, as she shares her own grief story of losing her Dad very suddenly when she was 18, to then coping with the death of her Mum just 7 years later. Leaving her without either of her parents at the age of just 25.

We talk about how grief changed her as she approached those key ‘adult’ years after her Dad died, and the intense anticipatory grief she felts the three years leading up to the loss of her Mum. Alex also talks about dealing with the legalities of inheritance tax and selling her parent’s home with her siblings and we discussed the lack of compassionate leave in the workplace.

Alex is also the creator of The Grief Kitchen, which can be found on Instagram and Facebook. She tells me about what led to its creation and how she aims to connect people over food, sharing the nostalgic stories behind those recipes.

I hope you enjoy this week’s episode as much as I enjoyed recording it. You can also watch the episode on YouTube at the Dead Parent Club - the link will be in my bio.

Thank you Alex again for your time. If you enjoy the episode please don’t forget to leave a review and subscribe!
