What does the word 'grief' do to you?
Do you find it easy when your friends experience loss? Do you
empathise?
Sympathise?
hide?
Get lost for words?
Angharad Candlin is finishing her book on grief. It's a topic to get our heads around. When we, our friends or our children experience loss there are great ways to connect without worrying that it will be all consuming or feeling that we'll say the wrong thing.

What better person to interview on Children's Mental Health Week (1-8 Feb) than Claire Libby, creator of the Positive Mental Health App; Iamme (I am me). this is a friend to any young person navigating their feelings, working out how to understand themselves and others - and how to respond in challenging situations.
This app was born out of a recognition that young people (of all different backgrounds and upbringings) are leaving home and joining the work force without the strength and resilience needed to thrive.
After interviewing many young people they all pointed to the same issue - come and find out what's at the bottom of it all and what you can do to help your child thrive through childhood and beyond.
The link mentioned in the podcast about what you can do when you're feeling disempowered is podcast 6

There are so many gems in this conversation with David Baker. He's a thinker and has great wisdom to share.
We cover empowerment, courage, arguments, 'sorry' when it's an empty word. We riff on the issues of shame, 'being true to yourself' and whether that's a worth excuse for some of the choices we make! Lies, unconditional love, it's all in there. I came away richer, I'm sure you will too.
Pop here for your copy of the book.
