Not So Linear - Grief & Loss Education in the Workplace, with Katrina Preisler-Weller

Grief & Loss Education in the Workplace, with Katrina Preisler-Weller

08/08/21 • 33 min

Hey guys! On today's episode I am joined by fellow motherless daughter, Katrina. After experiencing multiple losses within her early life and witnessing the uncomfort and lack of knowledge around her, Katrina began her journey as a grief & loss educator.
Katrina specialises in providing workshops within organisations and businesses. For many people, returning to work after a significant loss can be daunting and anxiety inducing. Therefore, it's so important that our workplaces are able to support those who are grieving and can provide their employees with the tools to deal with such scenarios.
Katrina also talks about how we can support our friends who are grieving and explains the importance of acknowledging them. The last thing we want to do is dismiss another's grief!
You can find more about Katrina on her website www.katrinapreislerweller.com or on her instagram @katrinapweller

Losing my twin brother Will, with George Falck

In this episode I'm joined by George Falck, who lost his twin brother Will when he was 24. Will was diagnosed with terminal cancer and the boys decided they would do as much as they could in the few years that they had left together.
From following England Football matches all over Europe, to Will running a marathon in Amsterdam, they didn't let the anticipatory grief get in their way of quality time together. However, George is very open about how he felt relief once Will passed away, since his last few months and weeks were an extremely difficult time for him.
What I love about George's grief journey is that he works hard to keep Will's memory alive. From taking a flag with Will's name on to sporting events all over the world, to hosting an annual golf tournament in his name. It is these acts that give George strength and help him feel close to Will all these years later.

Next Episode

My Grief Journey Pt.2, with Tamsin & Lily Millard

Hey! Welcome back to another episode of Not So Linear, where I talk about my grief journey and the last 6 months of change since launching the podcast. This time I'm interviewed by my younger sister Lily, which is very special as it shows how much we've grown through our grief together.
I talk honestly about how my relationship with my grief and my mum have evolved, as I have tried to make peace with my emotions and find ways to connect with her again. I also talk about the importance of finding a strong community of others who can help you feel less alone and I am so glad I found that in Motherless Daughters and within my own instagram page @tamsinmillard
We also talk about the impact that alcohol has on anxiety and how we live in a society that pressures us to tick off life events in order to be 'happy' - which is just unnecessary!
I hope you feel less alone in your journey by listening to mine. Don't forget to follow across apple and spotify to keep up to date with all of my latest episodes!
