In this episode of The Conversation with Nadine Matheson, I am thrilled to welcome the insightful Ali Harris, a talented author whose latest novel, This Wasn’t Meant to Happen, bravely tackles the profound themes of grief and loss. Ali shares her personal journey, reflecting on her experience with baby loss and how it influenced her writing process.


We discuss the delicate balance between authenticity and storytelling, exploring how fiction can serve as a powerful tool for understanding and navigating grief. Ali opens up about her ten-year hiatus from writing, the challenges of returning to the literary world, and the importance of creating space for deep emotional connections in her work.


As we delve into Ali’s characters, particularly Sophie and her best friend Nisha, we uncover the complexities of friendship during times of sorrow and the necessity of open conversations about loss. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of resilience, vulnerability, and the transformative power of storytelling, offering listeners a chance to reflect on their own experiences with grief and connection.
