  When Grief Feels Like Homesickness...

  Aug 12, 202636 min

  Jonny and Neil explore the small, unexpected moments that make us feel connected to the people we've lost. Sparked by a listener's heartbreaking poem about losing her husband to cancer, the guys open up about the "signs" that have found them recently. Along the way, they talk honestly about the exhaustion of carrying grief while putting on a brave face for the world, and why looking for these small moments of connection isn't about closure - it's about staying open to the people we love, even after they're gone.

  Why Do We Leave 'I Love You' Until It's Too Late?

  Aug 5, 202628 min

  In this episode of Keep It Grief, hosts Jonny and Neil dive into a powerful conversation about the finality of life and our tendency to withhold our deepest feelings until it is too late. Triggered by a request from Jonny’s father, the guys reflect on why eulogies and profound expressions of love are almost always heard by everyone except the person they are actually about. They urge you at home to break this cycle by having those meaningful conversations, sending a text, or sharing a moment of appreciation out loud across the kitchen table while your loved ones are still here to experience them.

  Should You Profit Off Your Pain? The Truth About Grief Clickbait...

  Jul 29, 202630 min

  This episode of Keep It Grief brings a deeply personal and poignant perspective to the table. Hosts Jonny and Neil open up about the milestones and everyday moments that shape their lives after loss. Jonny shares a heart-melting yet difficult moment from his week when his three-year-old son, Louis, unexpectedly initiated a conversation about death, asking if his late Nana and a family dog were together on a walk. This leads the guys into an honest discussion about navigating grief with children and overcoming the temptation to hide the finality of loss behind euphemisms. Later in the episode, the guys tackle the uncomfortable realities of social media in the "grief world". They call themselves out on the pressure to create content while balancing the fine line of respect for their loved ones. Together, they dive into a raw and vulnerable conversation about the dangers of opportunistic "grief clickbait-ism," viral TikTok trends, and the "toxic positivity" that often forces a superficial pretense over genuine pain. They also read moving messages from listeners sharing their own fundamental transformations after profound loss, reminding everyone in this "club" that they are not alone.

  Why Does Grief Make People Awkward?

  Jul 22, 202631 min

  This episode of Keep It Grief brings a deeply personal and poignant perspective to the table. Hosts Jonny and Neil open up about the milestones and everyday moments that shape their lives after loss. Neil celebrates a major breakthrough as his camper van, Lottie, is finally completed and back on the road. What started as a bittersweet decision after his partner's passing has evolved into a 2.5-year journey toward finding freedom and a space where he can still feel her presence. Later in the episode, Jonny shares his recent experiences DJing on the festival circuit, reflecting on how he uses music as a powerful ritual to invite his late mother into his current world. Together, the guys dive into a raw and vulnerable conversation about the social awkwardness surrounding grief, and explore why society often shies away from discussing lost family members, despite it being the one thing grievers want most to keep their memories alive.
