How to Deal with the Loss of a Family Member
The following episode contains sensitive subject matter for someone that has lost a loved one. We have interviewed professional experts on each topic, and taken extra care to cover the subjects with sensitivity.
When we face the loss of a loved one, especially a child, or a parent, it might be the most confusing process in our lives - and chances are, most of us are just not prepared for such events to ever happen.
Sometimes, all we need is a little guidance to work through difficult times, together.
Join us for this special Bereavement Series where we speak to professional counsellors & experts, to be better equipped - mentally, emotionally, and for the actual practical implications - when a loved one passes.
Our guest this week, Carin Marcus, shares her knowledge as a Clinical social worker (with over 25 years of experience) on bereavement.
Over the next few months, we'll be presenting our support series for handling grief in various circumstances.
