In this episode of The Mourning After, Ben Gibson sits down with renowned entertainment journalist Jonathon “J.Mo” Moran to explore the deeply personal journey of losing his mum, Trish, at the age of 31, and how that loss shaped his life.
Jonathon shares candid memories of his early years and the close bond he had with his mum, leading through her breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and ultimately, her death. He opens up about the devastating impact her death had on him and his family, and how grief sent him on a spiral of drugs and alcohol before he found the path to understanding and mental health advocacy.
