Emily Bevan is a writer and actor, perhaps best known for her role as spirited zombie Amy Dyer in BAFTA winning series ‘In The Flesh’. She is soon to appear on Disney plus/Hulu in the hotly anticipated tv series of the much loved film, The Full Monty. Other credits include Funny woman, Doc Martin, Temple, GRANTCHESTER, Domina and many more. In the run up to her father’s untimely death in 2014, Emily kept a diary of thoughts, feelings, anecdotes and poems as a way of keeping sane. These diaries were published by Unbound in 2022 in the form of ‘The Diary of Losing Dad’ and releasing them to the world has been a hugely cathartic exercise. You can find more about Emily on Instagram and Twitter @EmilyGraceBevan.
In this episode we talk about her experiences of keeping a diary when her father was dying and some moments that occurred, writing her book ‘The Diary of Losing Dad’, her grief journey following his death, connecting with her father through the senses and activities, and grief dreams of her deceased father that she had, as well as ones that her husband and mother had.
