About This Podcast
Welcome to Early Mourning Coffee Club. A brutally honest podcast about grief, with a dark sense of humour.
Hosted by Meg, a 30-year-old widow and solo parent, this weekly show explores loss without cliches, laughter without guilt, and life after everything changes.
Raw, real, inappropriate at times - exactly what grief actually looks like.
Each Tuesday morning, grab a coffee (or whatever gets you through the day), and sit with Meg as she shares her experience in a podcast that offers space to be heartbroken and hopeful all at the same time.
Hit follow, pour your coffee and let's take this one sip at a time.
