It can be easily forgotten that grief and loss can have a ripple effect on communities, friendships and future relationships. In some cases, our own grief and loss may also impact those around us in various ways and this is something my best friend and I realised from a young age. We explore the questions: how do we properly support those we love in times of grief and loss? Do we truly understand the grieving individuals actions and needs? How do we navigate our own grief and loss whilst still supporting our loved one who has perhaps lost someone close to them? What emotions come with all of the above?
Listen to Maisie Barlow as she shares with honesty and love, about how my mothers death impacted her life, our friendship and what it has taught her over the last 10 years.
