Latest episode: Understanding Grief and Bereavement
Leaving behind one life to start another, in a retirement village or residential care home, can be hard. Often people grieve the life they knew. In this episode of Age Old Problems: New Aged Care, Helping Hand’s Coordinating Chaplain Paul Hodgson normalises the process of grieving. He talks through the physical and psychological responses to grief and what we can do as friends and family to support those experiencing it.
