Welcome back to the Life and Loss podcast, where we have honest conversations about illness and grief. Today we're talking about experiencing multiple losses and the impact of compounded grief.

My guest today is Debbie who has endured unimaginable loss, saying goodbye to her best friend, partner, mother, father, and stepfather over the past 19 years. Each loss has been different, bringing its own emotions, challenges, and unanswered questions. As she navigates grief after grief, she’s found that there is no guidebook, no single way to process it all, and no clear endpoint.

In this episode, we’ll explore what it’s like to carry the weight of multiple losses.

Welcome to the Life and Loss Podcast. Hospices are often thought of as places of sadness, but those who work in them know they are also places of warmth, dignity, and even joy. The care given goes beyond medical treatment, it’s about supporting people to live as well as possible, for as long as possible.

Today, I’m joined by Claire, a Physiotherapist and Libby at Therapy Assistant, who work within Forest Holme hospice, providing hands-on care, movement, and comfort to patients. They’ll be sharing what it’s really like to work in a hospice, the special moments that stay with them, and why their roles are so important.
