Today’s question is: 

What can adults do to make the pain a child feels after losing a parent a little more bearable?

I’m in conversation with Ian & Phoebe Gilbert 

Ian and his daughter Phoebe contributed to the book Independent Thinking on Loss and Phoebe has set up an enterprise with support from Prince's Trust all about helping schools help young people dealing with bereavement
