S3 special 1 - LionHeart Talks...Coping with Grief

Every single one of us will lose a loved one at some point in our lives, but the impact of grief is something we still don’t talk about very much – which can leave someone who’s been bereaved feeling very isolated in their feelings.

In this first of two episodes to mark Grief Awareness Week, LionHeart host Jo Grant is joined by ambassador and surveyor Claire Martin and LionHeart communications manager Hayley Draper, who share their experiences of loss and the grieving process.

We talk about:

· Claire’s experience as a young widow and mum to a three-year-old

· What anticipatory grief is like

· How losing your parents – even as an adult – can leave you feeling adrift

· Some of the surprising things about grief

· Supporting children through loss
