In a follow up to Part 1, we dive even more deeply into talking about power, suffering and empathy. The conversation on adversity and childhood suffering is not an easy one and both myself and Suzanne have times where we really struggle to articulate ourselves. What you'll hear is a compassionate, honest and thoughtful discussion about ACEs, trauma and adversity.

The British Betrayal of Childhood

Talking to Children about Grief and Loss during COVID-19.

COVID-19 has not only disrupted every aspect of our daily lives, and locked us down, it has also magnified losses that were pre-existing, and opened up the topics of death, loss and grief, making them part of our daily conversations. If we found these conversations difficult before COVID-19, and avoided having them, thinking grief and loss were topics for ‘another day’, they are even harder now, as the issue of mortality has threatened our sense of safety, challenged our capacity for change, emotional resilience, and questioned how we find peace of mind.

Added to this are the ‘big little losses’ - our children can’t see and socialise with friends and family, attend school, after school clubs, be at places of play, safety and refuge, all of which has thrown them, and us (parents and educators) into a state of grieving for our familiar routines, relationships, and human connections. 

As we find ourselves in this new state of uncertainty and unbalance, not waving but almost drowning in grief, feeling angry one minute, and in denial the next, the question becomes - how do we talk to our children about grief and loss, and enable them to feel a sense of safety, and peace of mind? How do we find this for ourselves?

In this episode, inspired by June Sarpong's series "To The Woman That Saved Me", Lisa Cherry reads a letter to her Grandmother in an episode that is a little different to the usual podcast content. We hope you like it and feel inspired to consider which woman has saved you, shaped you or supported you. Maybe it also gives you a chance to reflect upon how we don't always say, that which needs to be said when we really should have said it. Of course, regretting what we didn't say or indeed know, when someone is not with us anymore is one of life's tragedies. A letter seems a poignant solution to that. Thank you June for the inspiration...
