The Silent Why: finding hope in grief and loss

Just a very quick update from us. We’ve experienced a loss of our own over the last three weeks, which means our return to the podcast will be delayed a little longer than we’d hoped. We wanted to let you know, rather than leave you wondering where we were. Thank you, as always, for your patience, kindness and support of the podcast. It really does mean a lot to us. ❤️ Send us Fan Mail Support the show ----- thesilentwhy.com | Instagram | Facebook | Twi...

#154. Join your two favourite hosts as we celebrate (or try to!) a podcast milestone, chat about life, and explain our podcast plans for the summer.

Karen is the UK's first widow coach and an Intuitive Psychology Coach. Karen's husband, Simon, d...

#152. How can a metaphorical chair and a blanket help us in grief? Let's find out. This is The Silent Why, a podcast on a mission to open up conversations around grief, asking if hope can be found in 101 different types of permanent loss. Welcome to my brand-new series of episodes - The Grief Toolshed. In this series, I’m visiting the garden tools shared by our Let’s Chat guests (from my metaphorical toolshed) and turning them into practical, supportive tools we can use when we face g...

#151. I've always loved graveyards. I'm not sure what it is about them that draws me in, but a little while ago I decided to record my musings as I wander round them. So that's what these Graveyard Musing episodes are, just me and my phone, in a graveyard. And sometimes I go international (but not this one) and sometimes Chris joins me (like this one). Anyway, welcome to another Graveyard Musing from me, Claire Sandys (host of The Silent Why podcast). In this musing, Chris (husband) and I ...
