All Things Considered - Grief and Consolation

In this programme, Rosa Hunt, explores the experience and journey of grief, consolation and faith as a fellow Pilgrim walking with our contributors. Ruth McDonald lost her son Ben when he collapsed after running the Cardiff Half Marathon six years ago. Kathy Richards, who lost her son to cancer over four years ago, now runs a bereavement course. These two mothers speak to us out of their personal experience of grief.
We also talk to Professor Wynn Thomas, who published 'The Art of Losing' this year. Wynn provides us with a different angle, using his literary expertise to help us see how poetry can articulate the journey of grief.

This programme was first broadcast on 12th January 2025.
