Good Goodbyes. The funeral facts podcast

in 2017, Sophie Pierce's life changed forever when her 20 yr old son Felix died suddenly and unexpectedly. By writing letters to Felix-composed during walks and swims taken close to his burial place by the river Dart in Devon, Sophie learned how to live in the landscape of sudden loss, navigating the weather and the tides of grief. 

This conversation is about Felix, the book and Grief.
