The Tea: Grief, Illness, and the Myth of Being Prepared
People love to say, “At least you had time to prepare.” But the truth is, nothing prepares you to lose your mama. Whether it comes slow through decline or fast like a sucker punch, grief doesn’t follow a polite timeline. In this intimate and powerful conversation, Ryanne sits down with her best friend Ellen Flechas, whose mother passed away after a battle with breast cancer that mestastised to her brain. As Ellen faced her own cancer diagnosis during that same season, the two friends share a raw and real dialogue about what it means to grieve while your own body is in a fight for its life. Together, they explore the myth of being “ready,” the tenderness of friendship in the middle of chaos, and the unexpected strength that comes when you’re forced to live and let go at the same time. This episode is an unfiltered reminder that preparation doesn’t soften grief, but love can hold you through it.
