Supporting the bereaved when you're bereaved: A therapists perspective with Laura Main.

This week I'm speaking to Laura Main, a grief and drama therapist under a contemporary mental health service.Laura came to this episode to speak about her parents. Her dad who passed 17 years ago and her mum, 4 years ago. This episode is beautiful in more ways than one. Laura speaks about her parents love for each other, the infatuation they had, her childhood, becoming a mum without mum and what that looks and so much more. It is an absolute TREAT of an episode.She delves into her work as a grief therapist and what it is truly like supporting the bereaved when you, yourself, are bereaved too.Thank you Laura for being such a delightful guest, my god how we laughed and really cried together. You're the stuff made of dreams darling!Big love, Amber xxxIG- @thegriefgangTwitter- @gang_griefFacebook- The Grief GangIf you like what you hear, please leave a rating and review, it really means a lot.
