The Tamsen Show · What No One Tells You About Grief After Losing Your Mother · 16 Jul 2026 podcast

It's okay.

But honestly, I think if you'd told me that at 17, I would have said, get out of here.

I don't want to hear that.

I'm going to be different.

That won't be true.

But it would have been good to know that.

I think in some ways, maybe I wouldn't have taken it in then, but I probably would have remembered it 10 or 20 years later and been grateful to have been told that.

I do remember

maybe six or eight months after my mother died, my best friend, and let's cut her slack.

She was 17 also.

We didn't know anything about grief or psychology or growing up.

But I was on the phone with her one night and I was crying about my mom.

I was missing her.

And I think I was attributing something that was happening in my life, probably evolving a boy at that age, to the fact that my mom had died.

And she said to me, Hope, you've got to stop blaming every bad thing that happens in your life on the fact that your mother died.

How much of your life do you think it's going to affect anyway?

And I remember on the phone thinking, well, I don't know, actually, because it feels like a lot.

But, you know, now with the hindsight of... It's been more than 40 years.

With the hindsight of 40 years, I look back and I think, well...

It affected everything.
