How to Deal with the Loss of a Family Member

Loading player...
When we face the loss of a loved one, especially a child, or a parent, it might be the most confusing process in our lives - and chances are, most of us are just not prepared for such events to ever happen. Sometimes, all we need is a little guidance to work through difficult times, together. Join us for this special Bereavement Series where we speak to professional counsellors & experts, to be better equipped - mentally, emotionally, and for the actual practical implications - when a loved one passes. Our guest this week, Carin Marcus, shares her knowledge as a Clinical social worker (with over 25 years of experience) on bereavement. Over the next few months, we'll be presenting our support series for handling grief in various circumstances.

Brought to you by Epi-Max Baby & Junior - Our Family, for Your Family. Sponsored by Curaprox and supported by Jacaranda FM.

The following episode contains sensitive subject matter for someone that has lost a loved one. We have interviewed professional experts on each topic, and taken extra care to cover the subjects with sensitivity.
