Grief in stoic families

The Life & Loss Podcast

Welcome to another episode of the "Life and Loss" podcast, brought to you by Forest Holme Hospice in Poole, Dorset. In this episode, Caroline talks about navigating grief within stoic families that uphold the "stiff upper lip" mentality, particularly focusing on the challenge of being unable to cry when someone dies.

She discusses her personal grieving journey after losing her husband Des and the impact grief can have on a person’s physical health.
