Living Loss Revisited 2: Why are we so reluctant to deal with grieving?

SBS News In Depth - A podcast by SBS

Grief may be a universal experience but it’s felt uniquely across our multicultural landscape. This is a second chance to hear the SBS award-winning podcast series Living Loss. The series won the Radio Today Award for Best Society and Culture Podcast. As a society, we might like to think we’re comfortable acknowledging death, but for many our dominant western culture struggles to hold space for grief. Other cultures also carry taboos around grief, and in this second episode we interrogate this discomfort, whilst acknowledging the diverse ways cultures grieve.
