BEFORE she died, Coleen Nolan's sister Bernie told her, "You can cry for two weeks, then you have to stop and get on with it."
"And I'll always remember that," says Coleen, "because she is right there is no point continually crying.
"My coping mechanism is I always have to find the funny in it. But it's important to accept and understand that everybody grieves differently."
CELEBRITY EXPERIENCES
The singer and Loose Women star is launching a new five-episode podcast series today, in which she chats to celebrity friends about their experiences of death and grief, as well as sharing her own.
Each week in Let's Talk About Grief, Coleen will touch on a different theme, from losing a parent, sibling or a spouse, to finding happiness again.
