BLOG: My Why: The season of October

Last October I wrote a blog/episode called 'The Autumn Fall' about how autumn teaches us how beautiful it can be to let things go. I was fully expecting to be writing along the same lines this year, but to my surprise I was feeling very different.

Welcome to another My Why from me, Claire Sandys, co-host of The Silent Why podcast. 

My Why episodes are weekly audio shorts of my latest blog post. If you'd prefer to read it, you can find it here: thesilentwhy.com/post/theseasonofoctober

This My Why is the next episode of my ‘To every thing there is a season’ series, where on the first Friday of the month for a whole year I will share lessons I’m learning from each month of the year, and two thirds of the way through, I've reached October.

October is known for autumn colour, Halloween, the Cheltenham Literature Festival and the entrance way to winter, but I'm also throwing in lumpy hedgehogs, scraggly magpies, ruffled crows and why this October feels a bit sadder for me and my grief than last year. 

I also coin the new phrase 'my grief is on the bubble'.
