In this week’s #podcast as some experience a glorious #summer of #sun I explore the issues of #loss, #grief and #loneliness & also consider the need for grief informed practice in #care and #support. #bereavement open.spotify.com/episode/3WQQsY…

The importance of time to listen, really listen cannot be underestimated but also the time to act on what is heard. So many times the act of listening is misconstrued as the act of asking a question and writing down the answer...that's it. That's not it.
