How to talk about grief – advice from a Bereavement Support Worker | S2 03 Grief In Common - Winston's Wish

Why does grief feel so awkward to talk about sometimes? Rosie’s dad died when she was in her first year of university, and she shares the difficulty of becoming independent and grieving for the first time. Rosie chats to Bereavement Support Worker, Sarah, as they discuss ways to bring up the topic of grief in school, uni, and the workplace, setting your own boundaries, and looking after yourself.
