Let’s Talk about Karl: A Mum’s journey through loss - Sue Austin

Welcome to another episode of the "Life and Loss" podcast, brought to you by Forest Holme Hospice in Poole, Dorset. In this episode, Sue discusses the death of her son Karl in 2019, aged just 39, following a 9-year battle with Melanoma, the subsequent grief and how she keeps his memory alive.

She talks about experiencing a parent’s worst nightmare of losing a child, the significance of a grasshopper in the family and how hosting a special event with Karl’s best friends had a cathartic effect on her grief.
