S3:E7 Time for...Contemplating Grief (featuring Sarah Gwonyoma)
Thursday Jan 25, 2024
Thursday Jan 25, 2024
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode includes discussions about death and grief.
This week Susie & Esther turn their attention to mortality. They discuss attitudes to death and mourning, and spend considerable time imagining the spectacular nature of their own funerals. Let's hope the Royal Albert Hall is available on the day...
The special guest is SARAH GWONYOMA. You may know Sarah from her Instagram platform, @WhatSarahReadNext, where she reviews books, interviews authors and generally brings a lot of joy. The catalyst for this platform were some unimaginably painful life changing events. In 2017, whilst living in Fiji with her husband and young son, Sarah, having just suffered a twin miscarriage, lost her brother and her husband both unexpectedly, just months apart. Follow this up with a global pandemic and this led to Sarah reevaluating her life and her work in International Development. Now Sarah is back in the UK and living by the coast with her son, and What Sarah Read Next is an inspiring community for book lovers. Sarah is also working on her own book and has just launched her book club WHAT WE READ NEXT in association with the Hastings Bookshop
The gals talk to Sarah about her resilience and positivity, how she has taken care of herself and her son through these experiences and the plans she has for her community. She's an inspiring woman and it's an honour to welcome her to LTO.
With Sarah's energy, plus sketches, laughter and the promise of a sea swim, this episode is far from bleak. We hope you enjoy it.
