Episode notes

“There was nothing romantic about their deaths”

Karen Green’s life was turned upside down when both of her parents became terminally ill within a very short space of time. Karen and her brothers were forced to navigate the complexities of grief, family dynamics, and the harsh realities of illness and dementia

Business psychologist and Executive Coach, Hazel Showell discovers the importance of seizing the moment, and having those big, difficult conversations while there is still time. You’ll hear how illnesses altered the relationships of everyone in Karen's family. Including how dementia comes with a double loss, of the person that you knew, and the person that they became.

Hazel has her own guide for those who are experiencing grief, which you can access here.

As well as a worksheet on supporting people who are recently bereaved which you can access here.
