We welcome your suggestions and examples for future audios. So please email them through or include them on our forum (for members of our online community), or in the comments below. THANK YOU for taking the time to do this.

Loss is an experience that is common to us all. But which of us have learned how to grieve well? We tumble into experiences of losing someone or something important to us completely unprepared for how to walk the journey ahead of us. Bravely we try to learn as we go, with varying success. In this audio, we explore the most common stages in a journey of grief and what is needed to walk them well. Part 2 of this series will consider how to apply these principles to deal with historic grief and other complicated types of loss. (See also Loss of the Unborn: Ways of walking through grief)
