How Do You Cope? · Rhian Mannings: ‘Everyone grieves differently, there is no rule book’ · 1 Jun 2026 podcast

That was grief catching up on me and telling me to stop.

Wow.

To stop pretending it was all okay, that actually it is okay to be sad, it's okay to actually admit that this had happened to you, that life was hard, that these people were missing, a variety of things.

I hadn't realized how I'd just pushed it to the back of my mind.

and just got on.

I didn't want my family to see me struggling because I felt that this was my fault and I was throwing them into this turmoil.

I wanted them to be okay.

I wanted the kids to be okay.

I wanted my friends to be okay.

I didn't want to be a burden on anyone.

And then one day it just hit me and I realized that I was at rock bottom now and I did need some help.

Yeah, so I think I still wore the mask.

I'm a very good mask wearer, which I think a lot of us are.

I still publicly came across pretty much okay, but I did seek psychiatric support.

I was very fortunate to get fast-tracked then and get some support with my mental health.

I had a variety of mental health interventions and psychotherapies, eventually leading to EMDR therapy that I had.

which, you know, everybody is different, but for me, it changed my life forever.

I am a huge advocate.

I just can't talk about it highly enough, but as I said, everyone is different.

And that is where I started sorting my head out, literally.
