The death of an older child and reinventing yourself with Jane Harris, CO-founder of The Good Grief Project.

This week I'm speaking with Jane Harris, Co-Founder of The Good Grief Project.I've known Jane and her husband Jimmy for some years now, ever since I started The Grief Gang really. It has been long overdue getting Jane onto the podcast, but here we are. Jane and Jimmy's story is rooted in the grief for their son, Joshua, who died unexpectedly aged 22 in a motorbike accident whilst travelling in Vietnam.Since then, the breadth of Jane and Jimmy's work is extensive and so moving, all in the name of their son Joshua and to help other bereaved parents and siblings. Jane in this episode offers both a personal and professional perspective to what it is like navigating grief for an older child, whilst also being a therapist. How both Jane and Jimmy knew the importance of community very early on in their grief, especially regarding planning Joshua's funeral. And what it's like raising children whilst grieving for a child too.Jane and Jimmy work tirelessly to support other bereaved families, their retreats are a balm for all those who need them.
