The Madness of Grief

The Reverend Richard Cole's memoir of grieving for his husband David, The Madness of Grief, is I think one of the most brilliant and moving books on the topic I have ever read. When I started the podcast, I imagined that it wouldn't be long before somebody got in contact and wanted to talk about it. So it's been astonishing that we are almost at the end of season eight before a guest has asked to come and talk about it. And I'm glad I waited because I have loved talking to Lynsey Bennett today and about grief, about complex grief, about communication in and around grief. This is such an accessible, moving and funny book, one which I have recommended to a lot of patients as well as to colleagues and it was really good to have a conversation about it.
