It's important to remember that our loss is alway different, even if we are grieving over the same person.

Join me and my Dad for an honest conversation about my Mothers death and how the loss of his best friend, wife and mother to his children impacted his life. Together we talk about how grieving can begin even before the death has happened, that as parent you cant protect your child from pain and how after everything, it is possible to find light within darkness.

Paul Weller (my Dad, not the rockstar!) once upon a time played in a rock band... After working for church and inter-faith organisations, specialising in racial justice, peace and inter-faith matters, he is now formally retired - although actually still working "part-time" as an academic for three universities as well as having his own company. He is a parent to two grown up daughter (yes, one of them is me!) and one grown up son. He is also a very proud grandparent to Lily, and husband to Marie.
