This week on Family Flowers Only , I sit down with Helen Groarke . Helen speaks so openly about the devastating loss of her mum Ada to COPD, a woman she described as her best friend. Just two weeks later, her dad Phelim who had lived with bipolar all his life attempted to take his own life. Helen also shares the challenges that followed, from her son being diagnosed with an autoimmune condition to experiencing miscarriage. Through it all, she has carried immense strength, honesty, and love. Thank you to this episodes supporters Feeling stuck in your body? Grief can weigh heavily on us physically as well as emotionally.
