Full Circle Grief Podcast: Conversations about Loss

In our Full Circle grief podcast series we explore grief through conversations with people whose personal experience of bereavement has given them a unique perspective on life after loss.  Individuals who have generously given their time to speak with us include members of the public, professionals within mental health fields, clinical staff on cancer wards, death doula’s, celebrants, and many others.

As modern funeral directors, we actively encourage open, honest and non-judgmental conversations about death and grief. Listening to people’s stories and wishes is a significant and valuable part of our role as we support the wellbeing of people who have been bereaved.

Most of the people who have contributed have their own personal journeys to share, which we believe will help others to cope with loss and grief.  The professionals explain how their jobs affect them personally, and we will how talk about the services they provide.

Our hope is that with these conversations, we will begin to lift the tension, anxiety and apprehension around talking about loss, bereavement and grief and contribute to people feeling able to talk about these subjects more openly again.

The discussions we have embarked upon are not always easy, but we feel that it is important to allow gentle conversations about death, dying and bereavement back into our lives in way that is healthy, positive, supportive and promotes better wellbeing for every bereaved individual, family, and community.
