Today, I am delighted to welcome my dear friend, Catherine Williamson, as my guest.

This episode reflects the quiet, often unacknowledged grief that follows the end of a relationship. Unlike death, there’s no formal goodbye—just the lingering presence of memories, lost dreams, and shared routines. It speaks to the pain of mourning someone who is still alive, the emotional confusion it brings, and the lack of visible closure.

Yet, within this sorrow lies a potential gift: the opportunity for healing, reflection, and growth. The message is one of compassion and solidarity for anyone navigating heartbreak—not just from a person’s absence, but from the end of love itself. It invites us to honour our grief, not fix it, and to gently uncover meaning amid the loss.

If you are grieving someone who is still alive, if your heart is heavy with unanswered questions and silent prayers, know that you are not alone.

Let us walk this path together, with open hearts and gentle hands, as we seek to find the gift within our grief.

Grief doesn't adhere to a schedule.

It comes in waves, in quiet moments, and sometimes in the most unexpected ways.

My guest today Vicki Holton has walked through many forms of grief, each unique in its own weight.

Now, she faces a new and deeply painful chapter: the anticipatory grief of knowing her son lives with a life-limiting heart condition.

In this heartfelt conversation, we explore the complexities of grieving—what it looks like, how it evolves, and what might lie ahead.

While this episode holds sorrow, it is also woven with hope, strength, and unexpected light.

In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode we welcome Grant Harris, a gifted medium who has dedicated his life to helping people find peace, closure, and healing through spiritual connection.

As someone who bridges the gap between the physical world and the spirit world, Grant shares how mediumship can be a powerful tool in the grieving process.

He is known for his compassionate, grounded approach to spiritual connection.

He works with individuals and groups to help them find comfort and clarity after loss and is passionate about helping people understand that they are never truly alone.

Together, we explore how connecting with loved ones who have died can offer validation, comfort, and sometimes even the permission to move forward. Whether you're a sceptic, a believer, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers compassionate insight into how mediumship can provide hope for those navigating the pain of loss.

What We Cover in This Episode:

What a medium is and how Grant discovered his abilities

Common misconceptions and fears around mediumship

Real-life stories of how spirit communication has helped the grieving

How validation from spirit can ease guilt, unanswered questions, and unresolved emotions

Tips for those who are curious or seeking a session with a medium

Why It Matters:

Grief is often filled with lingering "what ifs," regrets, and a yearning for continued connection. Mediumship, when practiced responsibly, can offer reassurance that our loved ones are still with us in spirit and that love truly transcends death. Grant’s work illustrates how these messages can become a profound part of the healing journey.
