For The Love of Grief is the podcast where we talk openly about the often taboo and hidden subject of life after the death of a loved one.

Death touches all of our lives at some point, and the aim of this show is to give parents and care givers a resource to help them support their children, to help them to make sense of their world when someone close to them has died. 

This podcast is hosted by Odette Mould MBE. As a parent supporting a bereaved child, Odette understands the overwhelm and confusion that death brings into the family, it’s just not something we consider when we choose to become a parent, yet it is part of life! 

Founding her own children’s charity Harry’s Rainbow has given Odette vast experience in this field. With this podcast, she aim to help parents, and the wider community to feel empowered to make the best decisions for their children, with their children and she’s joined by fellow expert Sophia Giblin, Founder of Clear Sky Children’s Charity and Patron of Harry’s Rainbow.

We both have first hand experiences of the death of a loved one within the immediate family and setting up children’s charities to help others. In this podcast we will share our stories of grief and what we’ve found to be helpful in our decades of experience in working with children and families. 

Together we will be discussing what really works when supporting a child when they’re grieving and answering those difficult questions like ‘should I let my child go to the funeral or celebration of life ceremony?’ ‘How do I explain death to my child?’ And ‘how can I look after my own mental health when I’m also grieving?’  

We plan to share lots of tips for how to navigate the unknown path ahead. You’re not alone. We’ve got you.
