Episode notes

In this episode, Jenni shares what she has learned from bereaved children when a mother or father, sister or brother, or another important person in their life has died.

It was bereaved children’s questions that encouraged Jenni to co-write her book with Caroline Jay ‘What does dead mean?’, a resource which helps parents to explain death and dying. A link to buy the book is below. 

Jenni also asks Nick to share his experiences of grief following the death of his mother when he was 14.
