It's hard to see someone you care for grieving. And it's even harder when you are also grieving. Too many times as friends of the person who died and of the partner who was left behind, our desire to help and our drive to make things better can cloud our judgment and lead us off track from what really matters: seeking support for our grief elsewhere so we can provide the support our grieving friend needs, not the support we think they should have.
Cristiane Heale is a brilliant counsellor and she one of my closest friends, she was also my husband's friend and when he died she too felt the impact and the pain of his passing. In this episode we explore some aspects of her experience as a friend - who is grieving - trying to support me in the first days and weeks following Jason's death.
