He shares how he has coped with the festive season over the years - which can be tough when you’re grieving - and how to support a bereaved child around Christmas time.We also discuss how intergenerational trauma from grief and loss can impact families for generations and what it has been like for Stu trying to break that cycle. FREE EVENT REPLAY: Feeling the weight of grief?
