    I think After Life is essentially how Ricky would feel without Jane. He constantly mocks her, but it's very very clear that he absolutely adores her. She's his rock and gives him the stability which enables him to express his very honest opinions.

      Jen Wren, I agree with you. I too think this portrayal of grief after losing a partner is very true to life. My husband died just over 2 years ago and this is how it feels. I find this very,very hard to watch because all the emotions become overwhelming again. I’m so sorry that you lost your fiancé but the grief does get easier to live with.

      I 've only seen these YT clips of After Life, because I know I won't be able to handle the full episodes. Grief is fuckin' awful, but you do come to terms with it. The sad irony know is after meeting someone and learning to love again, I was diagnosed with a Grade 4 Glioblastoma in December 2020, and now it is my Partner that I have to see trying to deal with the very real possibility of losing the one She loves. And the shit thing is, when/if I do die, I can't be there for her, to hold her in my arms and tell her that despite the pain she feels, things will get better.

    do you know who's an underrated character: Cathy. So so many people relate to that feeling of being unloved and over looked- willing to try anything and look a fool just to be looked at. I feel she's so real in that respect and her relationship with Ricky's character is heartwarming in its own way.

There are times where you laugh uncontrollably due to Ricky's incredible writing....and there are times where you sob uncontrollably when you realise that Tony is just another bloke trying to navigate through hurt and loss.

      All very well giving advice when you're young. Trouble is for many of us life never gets better, in fact it gets worse, especially when our health starts to fail and nothing can be done about it. After losing the love of our life, no one else comes along. We wait decades to see if things get better. Then we realise we shouldn't have waited and should have just ended it a very long time ago instead of going through it.

I realised what a beautiful place this earth is. I wanted to see flowers blooming in spring, feel the sun on my face in summer, walk through leaves on the ground in autumn and feel the crisp air in winter. I started enjoying the simple things of life more. In 2020 I was disagnosed with a different cancer and had to have radio therapy.

    I lost my beautiful bride of over 30 years in late 2019. We were best friends since high school and now I do a podcast on grief and loss and recommend to people that have experienced loss to watch this series. While the language and some of the content can be a bit strong, the message is spot on. When this series came out I cried at every episode but it was a good cry because even though it was a television show it felt as if it was my story being told and somebody actually got it, they "Rick Gervais" truly nailed what loss feels like for a younger, working age widower. His performance was so convincing I had to search and see if he had lost a spouse because it was so incredibly well done. I've now completed all three seasons and was so sad to see the series end, but at the same time the series finale was absolutely beautiful and gave me a sense of peace. I will always love my Pam and after watching this series I'm fine never meeting anyone else because just as Tony became comfortable knowing Lisa is the only woman he will ever love, I truly believe Pam is the only woman I'll ever love.
