Adapted from her book of the same name, this is a glimpse of how grief may show up. After an unimaginable loss, Atkinson shares what life is like with a new companion, Grief. Compelling storytelling and popular songs from Coldplay, Adele and Carole King explores the roller coaster of life, love, loss & the lessons. It's unpredictable, vulnerable & at times, comical, just like life... and grief!

Jodie Atkinson is a Certified Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist®, Speaker, Author, and Artist. Her debut book, "Have You Met My Grief?", not only serves as a written work but has also been transformed into an Award-winning Cabaret that premiered at the 2023 Adelaide Cabaret Fringe Festival. Following a profound personal loss, she became acutely aware of her own lack of preparedness to handle grief. She felt this was largely due to society's reluctance to openly discuss the topic of grief. Driven by a deep passion to help others dealing with loss, not only did she write a book about it, Jodie also pursued certification in the very program that helped her to navigate her own loss, to provide that education and support to other grievers.Suitability & warnings
