The Grief Gang
Amber Jeffrey
Welcome to the gang...the one you never asked to be part of.
The Grief Gang podcast was created after host Amber Jeffrey, Mother died unexpectedly at the age of 19. Struggling with her grief and feelings, she set out to find people who just got it and to share the continuous whirlwind experience of this thing called grief.
Through sharing her own experiences, the highs and the really low lows, the funny bits, the naff bits and the really confusing bits, this show aims to show you that you are never alone in your grief and feelings. Nor should you have to suffer it alone. You will hear alongside Amber's own experiences on this podcast, an array of guests who honestly & candidly share their own stories of their grief, from all different walks of life and losses. From parent, child, sibling, partner & more, there is hopefully something here for everybody.
You will most likely cry, even more likely to laugh when listening to this show, but above all this show aims to provide you with hope. Hope that there is life after loss..and a bloody good one at that.
The Grief Gang podcast has been celebrated by the BBC, Channel 5, Vogue, Women's Health UK & Australia and more. Amber's dedicated passion to her community and work of breaking down the taboo conversation of grief, has been recognised globally from media to the academic world. Delivering talks, panel discussions and workshops at the likes of Cambridge University, Westminster & the first international grief conference in Denmark.

Welcome to the Mothers Day episode 2024!
The episode where The Grief Gang community writes and shares about who it is they're missing this Mothers Day. You'll hear precious memories, words of wisdom and beautiful messages to their loved ones. It's truly one of my favourite episodes of the year.

Places of Rest
The Grief Gang
11/26/19 • 23 min
Hey guys,
Welcome back to another episode of The Grief Gang! This episode is all about places of rest. I got thinking about places of rest, and what my mums grave does and doesn't mean to me after I was asked earlier last week by my previous guest, "Where do I most feel connected to my mum?"
Enjoy!
Big love,

This weeks guest is Rabbi Steve Leder. Steve is the senior rabbi of Wilshire Boulevard Temple and author of five books! His most recent book, For You When I Am Gone, was my summer read on holiday this year. I could NOT put it down, and you’re about to find out why in this episode.
Steve’s latest book tackles one of the most requested topics from the last book: writing an ethical will, or a meaningful letter about your life. (Are you now thinking what on earth is an ethical will? Keep put!) He shares 12 questions in this book and prompts to help readers explore their values, beliefs, hopes, and dreams, and includes examples of ethical wills from a broad range of voices and faiths – old and young, with and without children, famous and unknown – as well as his own. It is Filled with ancient wisdom and wit., For You When I Am Gone is a moving, hopeful, and inspiring book that will encourage us to think about the legacy we leave behind.
Whether you follow a faith or religion or not, I think this episode can appeal to all. Writing or thinking about an ethical will is not subjective to following faith. It’s drilled into us that we should have our ducks in a row for when we die....who gets the house? Who gets this piece of jewellery? How much money goes to this person?...but at the end of the day, these things are all just...things. What do we really want to leave behind for those we love?...and also, what do you think your person might have written in their ethical will if they had the chance to write one?!
I’ve got you thinking now haven’t i? Get your pen and paper at the ready...
You can find and connect with Steve on instagram by searching steve_leder. Visit his website at www.steveleder.com where you can buy and read his latest book For you when I am gone. It will massively help and guide you if you're thinking about writing your ethical will! Even if your'e not, it is such a life changing read, honestly!
Happy listening...and writing!
Big love,
Amber x

In this weeks bonus episode, I'm thinking about the end. That's right, the end of our lives! I promise, it's not as morbid as you think. I'm sharing how when we live with the end in mind, how it can actually make us think about how we live, truly. How you can get started documenting what you might or might not want and why it's important to!
Big love,

Planning a funeral, rituals and why marking endings is vital with funeral director, Poppy Mardall.
The Grief Gang
04/02/24 • 52 min
This week, I'm speaking with Poppy Mardall. Funeral director and owner of Poppy's funerals!
In this episode Poppy and I discuss:
- How she came into this line of work.
- What are the actual steps when organising a funeral?
- Championing advocacy for end of life wishes!
- Rituals and what they really can be and look like
- Challenging why we are so bad with 'endings' as a whole
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode with Poppy, it was a total delight. It's always amazing how talking about the dead and the dying can actually be completely life affirming.
Find Poppy and Poppy's funeral services here. Be sure to check out the My Funeral Wishes service here if you're curious about planning what you want at the end of your life, or just to get the conversation going.

Going back to work.
The Grief Gang
03/30/20 • 31 min
Welcome back to another episode of the Grief Gang podcast.
This week I wanted to cover going back to work and my own experience with it, good and bad.
How I carry my grief and my everyday working life, together.
Going back to work is one of the hardest and in some cases easiest things to do after losing a loved one.
We all cope differently in our journeys. There is no manual to this!
Happy listening!
Big love,

It's all about August-Louisa Harris.
The Grief Gang
10/12/20 • 52 min
Welcome back to another episode of The Grief Gang podcast!
This week I was joined by Louisa Harris, the lady behind the account It's All About August.
Louisa and her partner Liam sadly lost their baby girl August to Group B Strep, resulting in Louisa delivering August stillborn.
We recorded this episode 4 months to the date of August's birth. I sat in absolute awe as Louisa so bravely shared her story with me at my dinner table. Louisa set up her instagram page to raise awareness of group B strep and stillbirth.
For those that don't know, strep b is not routinely checked for in a pregnancy unless detected in other tests such as urine samples. Yet it can be so life threatening to baby. August would be here today if it was picked up and Louisa was prescribed an £11 antibiotic. The injustice of it all is something I have no words for.
Since Louisa has shared her story online, she has motivated expectant mums to push to get tested for strep B. Some stating that they tested positive for it and are so thankful that they went and got checked. Louisa, amongst all of her grief hopes that sharing her story will prevent something like this happening again. A true wonderwoman.
And for August, wherever you may be little darling angel, I hope you know that you are changing the world. Your Mummy and Daddy are making sure of it, Rest easy.
Big love, Amber x

Shuma-Spoken Grief
The Grief Gang
11/30/20 • 79 min
Welcome back to another episode of The Grief Gang podcast.
This week I was joined by one of the most wonderful and giving people in the online grief community, Shuma, the queen behind the account Spoken Grief.
The reason why I say giving, is truly because I haven't come across someone who dedicates so much of their time and energy into providing a safe online space for the bereaved. Her page is full of useful tips, guides and thought provoking quotes. You'd be a fool not to check her out.
In this episode, Shuma speaks so eloquently and in detail about the loss of her mum. Me being me, was a blubbering mess as Shuma spoke about those final moments with mum, the conversations that were had and witnessing her parents have their final moment together. Shuma touches on how quickly after mums death, that the preparations for her funeral began and how it was coping with doing so.
Thank you Shuma for being such a wonderful guest.
