The Silent Why: finding hope in grief and loss

You're probably thinking:
What on earth is a Herman?
Why do I care?
What on sweet earth does a Herman have to do with a podcast about loss?
There's actually a chance you might have heard of a Herman, or have known it by a different name, but to be sure, tune into this episode for a mere 5 minutes (ish) and find out what it is and why we (hosts, Chris & Claire Sandys) are asking all our 101 loss guests on the podcast - 'What is your Herman?'

Introducing The Silent Why...

Can hope be found in every type of loss?

Join us, Chris & Claire Sandys, a childless (not by choice) couple, using our experience of loss to explore where, and when, hope emerges and joy returns in every journey of grief.

This is a mission to find 101 different types of loss, and you can expect: first hand experiences with grief, inspiring guests, honest conversation, tears, laughter and plenty of Hermans (confused? see Herman link below).

Loss 1/101: Loss of a marriage: Sue Brayne

#001. Few people recognise the huge losses involved when a couple divorce or separate, but the effect is often described as being worse than a death.
This is The Silent Why, a podcast on a mission to open up conversations around loss and grief and to see if hope can be found in 101 different types of loss.
Loss #1 of 101: Loss of a marriage
In this episode we chat to Sue Brayne, author, speaker and podcaster, who describes the end of her marriage as 'one of the great shocks and sadnesses' of her life. It was this, coupled with surviving a light aircraft crash, that led her on a journey to discover what it feels like to properly grieve your losses and accept your mortality. Plus she shares her powerful Herman with us (check out our short Herman episode if you have no idea what that means).
Can hope be found through the breakdown of a marriage? Listen and find out.
