The Grief Gang - A podcast by Amber Jeffrey

Categories:

Welcome back to this week's episode of The Grief Gang podcast.This week I'm speaking with my dear friend, June Bellebono.June's brother James died over 7 years ago to cancer and towards the end of 2020, her father too to a heart condition. In this episode, June and I discuss the influence losing a loved one can have in empowering us to live in our complete truth. For June, losing her brother and his larger than life personality, played an important part in June's transitioning.We speak on complicated relationships. June tells us of her complex relationship with her father & the comparisons between the grief she holds for both her brother and father. Lastly, we moved away from personal, individual losses and touch on grief as a collective and what that looks like in the LGBTQ+ community. A community that grief and death is embedded in it's history. How can one community endure so much grief and support each other? June gives us a beautiful and moving response. We had so much fun recording this episode, as you will be able to tell by all the laughs! It's amazing isn't it, how conversations so heavy can contain so much laughter too.This is a really special episode and one I am proud to share with you all. June is a multifaceted babe who wears many hats within the work she does! You can find her over at @junebellebabe on Instagram.
