Partner loss with Jess & Rachel

On this week's episode I'm talking to Jess Herrick and Rachel Symone Gilliam about the loss of their partners, Max & Joe.We speak about what it is really like to be young and widowed, with them both losing their partners under the age of 30. The layers of being a young carer when you yearn to be cared for yourself, grieving not only for the person who has died but for the future you had planned or dreamed of together, and sex! Now sex in the partner loss world is something I've come to learn is something that many widows will feel some shame about talking about. The fear of being judged for wanting to have a sex life after a partner has died is immense and in this episode Jess & Rachel absolutely shatter that taboo. As Rachel says "If you wanna have sex, HAVE SEX! If you don't, don't?!"Thank you ladies for being both wonderful guests and sharing Joe & Max with me and the audience. It was true bliss to be in the presence of you both.You can find the ladies on instagram over on:Rachel-@rachelsymonegilliamJess-@jess_herrickBoth ladies have expressed their warm welcome to anyone who would like to connect with them so no widow has to go through this alone.Big love always,Amber xxxJoin the conversation & community on...Instagram - @thegriefgangpodcastTwitter- @thegriefgangFacebook- The Grief GangIntro and outro music produced by Goodgoodgood Media.Editing by Ross Ramsey-Golding.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thegriefgang.
