   Episode 23 - Hope After Bereavement

   In this episode, we're joined by Rachel Weir, Senior National Family Support Practitioner at Scottish Families, to talk about grief, bereavement and finding hope after loss. The episode explores the different ways grief can affect us, the guilt that can come with finding moments of happiness, and what it can mean to move forward while continuing to carry the memory of someone we’ve lost. If you or someone you know is affected by a loved one’s alcohol or drug use, visit www.sfad.org.uk to find out more about the support available. 💜
