The Silent Why: finding hope in grief and loss

#039. What is End of Life and Grief Coaching, when can it be useful to us, and is it only for people facing bereavements?
Welcome to Let’s Chat... These episodes pop-up every now and then instead of one of our 101 different types of loss, as I (Claire Sandys, one of the co-hosts of The Silent Why podcast) chat to a guest who has experience or expertise in a particular area that can help us either deal with, or prepare for, loss.

In this Let’s Chat episode I chat to Lis Whybrow about End of Life and Grief Coaching.

Lis lives in our neighbouring county in Worcestershire (like the sauce!) and was a solicitor for over 30 years, dealing with all legal aspects of death and dying, before moving into a new career of life coaching, specialising in end of life and grief.
In this conversation we talk about the difference between coaching and counselling, fear of death, how coaching can help when facing death or loss (either for yourself or friends and family), what is a death doula, what does a coaching session look like, and lots more.
And I'm building a toolkit through these chats, well actually a whole tool shed, of equipment to help you face and process loss, so listen in to see what latest addition Lis wants to add my tool shed.

BLOG: My Why: The season of July

What can we learn from this month that helps us the rest of the year?
This My Why is the next episode of my ‘To every thing there is a season’ series, where on the first Friday of the month for a year I am sharing lessons I’m learning from each month of the year, and we’ve reached July.
Welcome to another My Why from me, Claire Sandys, co-host of The Silent Why podcast.

My Why episodes are weekly audio shorts of my latest blog post. If you'd prefer to read it, you can find it here: thesilentwhy.com/post/theseasonofjuly

July is apparently the pinnacle of the good weather in the northern hemisphere, the mountaintop if you will, and there’s a lot we can learn from mountaintop experiences, and valley experiences. Where would you rather be?
There’s also a personal reason I'm especially fond of this month.

My Why: Catch-up, cancer, chemo and eyebrows with Katie Joy Duke

I wanted to have another chat with Katie after her diagnosis with breast cancer, to find out about the losses attached to a diagnosis like this, and how they differed from the loss of her daughter.
Welcome to another My Why from me, Claire Sandys, co-host of The Silent Why podcast. My Why episodes are weekly audio shorts of my latest blog post, but this one is a bit different as I'm using this episode to catch-up with a previous Silent Why guest who has been through extra losses since we met her in early 2022.
Chris and I interviewed Katie Joy Duke in Episode 25 of the podcast (Loss 18: Loss of a full term baby), where Katie shared her story about the death of her daughter Poppy on the day she was due to give birth.
Sadly, four days before we released her episode Katie was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer. So I wanted to catch up with her to find out how this experience compared to previous losses she'd faced in the past.
Join me and Katie as we chat cancer, chemo, Uncle Fester, false eyebrows, staying healthy, sharing this kind of information with others, physical losses versus bereavements, and much more.
