🎙️ No Filters Just Feelings – With Trudy Brown | Episode 2 : Dad / Aunt Pauline- “the better version of us”

Grief can take many forms, and every loss carries its own story. In this episode, Trudy shares her personal experience of losing her father and the emotions, memories and challenges that came with saying goodbye.

By sharing these honest conversations, we hope to create space for people to talk about grief, feel less alone in what they’re experiencing, and remember that there is no single way to grieve.
