As part of National Grief Awareness Week, I'm re-sharing my favourite interview I ever did about grief. It was with Cariad Lloyd for her excellent - and much missed - Griefcast, a show that got closer to the horror, humour and healing of grief than any other.

This week Cariad talks to writer + journalist Séamas O'Reilly (Have Ye Heard Mammy Died?) about his mum, who died from breast cancer when Séamas was just five years old.

“What I’m waiting for, still, is a nuanced portrayal of autistic adults on our screens.

Having not submitted individual pieces for ages because of working on books & eleventy thousand things, this caught my eye. I was restless last night so wrote a story. We shall see. Anyway, thoroughly enjoyed doing this though, as usual, slightly freaked out by what comes out of my head. Closes 1/02
Only a few days left to submit your short story to our anthology.
We are seeking short stories for our upcoming anthology, Modern Decadent, which embraces the fin de siècle literary and arts of the decadents, along with 19th century symbolism & aestheticism.
