*Please note this podcast talks about suicide and suicide bereavement

Suicide loss is "grief with the volume turned up" and alongside missing them, there's often the "why," the replaying of last conversations, the last meetings and the huge amount of guilt that we can carry.

In this episode, we talk honestly about what it's actually like to be bereaved by suicide: the questions that may never get answered and the many, many emotions we go through. Listen to Jay Harrison - Suicide Bereavement Service Manager at Norfolk and Waveney Mind as he talks about his experience and the work that he continues to do by providing post-vention support following a bereavement to suicide

• Why suicide grief is different
• The many questions and feelings
• Grief and loss

We rarely talk about the grief and loss that we have to navigate when IVF doesn't work and we don't have the baby we are longing for.

Tara talks so openly and vulnerably about the grief she has had to endure and how it's affected her and her partner and helps shine a light on how she has had to process not having her baby and grieving this hope and dream.

Listen to Julie talk through the two very different experiences of the grieving process answering the question I am often asked...is it better to have advanced warning of someone's death so you have time to grieve in advance, or is it better to just not know when it's coming?

Julie talks so honestly about the two very different deaths of her parents and how she coped with both.

This is a special podcast as I've known Laura a long time, long before I started in my work with grief and to this day her grief story still impacts me.

At just 35, Louise's husband, Gary, didn't wake up one day, and this is her story of how she's managed to live with this grief while raising their child and being determined to be the best version of herself that she can.

Maybe you've sadly joined the 'group' that none of us want to join, but you aren't alone in that grief group, and if this podcast session helps just one person feel less alone then Louise and I have done our job.

In this episode, we meet Nina Metson, who experienced the heartbreak of baby loss during pregnancy due to medical complications and then grieved the loss of both her parents and how the grieving process was so different each time.

Nina's story reminds us of the hopes and dreams that we grieve when we suffer profound loss.

In this episode we meet Sam Lindley, whose sister died unexpectedly two years ago, and how she has coped with this devastating loss whilst also trying to run a thriving business.
