Description

Series 1 explores the unique grief and loss experiences of people impacted by natural disasters, and how they rediscovered life after loss. Each episode is released to mark the Anniversary of one of Australia’s most significant natural disasters. As a testament to the extraordinary nature of Australians living so-called ordinary lives, we witness personal grief and loss stories that are often harrowing, fascinating, funny, devastating, maddening and inspirational all at the same time. The series also features some of the world’s most respected experts in grief and loss whose illuminating insights, evidence-based guidance and occasional a-ha moments helps make sense of, and normalise grief in all its forms. Life After Loss is designed to help de-stigmatise grief and demonstrate that through connection, compassion and the sharing of lived experience, many of us can find a way to adapt to loss and start living again.
