What Now? On the threshold of life, death, and grief.
Presented by palliative and bereavement health care professionals Julie Brown, Red Keating and David Kennedy. Dying is one of the few experiences we will all share, yet little is done in our culture to prepare us for this inevitability and it's resulting bereavement and grief. Drawing on their vast knowledge and experience each episode is a conversation meant to enlighten and demystify the often difficult and emotional experiences of dying, death and bereavement. Presented in partnership with Hospice Peterborough.

S1E7 - Kids Grieve Too: What do we need to know? featuring Sheila Bourgeois
Early death and grief experiences lay the foundation for how we cope with future losses. In this episode we are joined by Family and Child Life Specialist, Sheila Bourgeois who guides us into the young mind so that we may learn how to approach and fully support children and adolescents through the grief journey. She teaches us how grief manifests differently in children and how essential it is that they be included in age appropriate ways. Sheila also touches on strategies for supporting children through the holiday season.
