Caroline and David Kinvig who is a local, Lancashire based Counsellor and Psychotherapist discuss the impact and management of grief for all; including clients, family members, informal and formal carers. David works across a range of specialities such as psychosexual, family, bereavement and grief and provides generic counselling services. David is also a clinical case supervisor.

This podcast will be especially educational and interesting to a wide range of people living and working in or around social care settings.

David talks about the different types of grief, how care providers and teams can help support both clients and their families with deteriorating health and death. They also explore how informal and formal carers can be best supported to come to terms with their loss. 

David explains what purposes tears and crying serve us and that there are in fact 3 types of tears!

It is an incredibly insightful discussion which will make anyone listening think more about situations they have experienced or may well experience in later life.
