Grief And The Tragic Passing of Jake Hall

At 1:23:50 · chapter starts 1:22:10

Missé was supposed to be in Ibiza for a magazine cover shoot, but a lost passport changed everything. Unable to fly back to England, she was sent by police to the Swedish embassy in Mallorca — meaning she spent the night on the same island as Jake without either of them knowing. She woke to 10 missed calls. Her first fear was that something had happened to River. When Jake's father said it was Jake, she heard the weight in his voice before the word arrived. What followed was total collapse: guilt, panic, grief for River, grief for Jake's family — especially his mother, father, and brother, whose loss she understood intimately from her own experience. The days that followed brought the strange comfort of strangers' support and the strange pain of watching her daughter grieve a father she adored. She speaks about Jake's final Instagram post — 'Remember the good things' — with a tenderness that suggests she has thought about it every day since. The funeral, just a week before this recording, was a celebration by intention: because that is what Jake would have wanted, and because Missé has learnt, from losing her brother, that burying grief only delays the pain.
