This week Cariad talks to writer Yrsa Daley-Ward (The How, Beyonce's Black is King, Bone) about her mum, who died when she was twenty-two and her grandmother, who helped raise her and passed away this year. As ever we talk about grief, death lessons + commonality of pain.

You can follow Yrsa on Instagram @yrsadaleyward and her new book, The How, is available to buy now.
