Episode 2 of The Kind Place podcast series explores the theme of grief and loss.
We hear from Dreane who lives alone in Worcestershire with her two Yorkshire terriers, and Carol who lives near Newcastle in the North East.
Carol and Dreane discuss their experiences of dealing with grief and talk about how the loss of a loved one can spark feelings of loneliness and isolation.
We’ve set up a Loneliness Line to hear from people around the country and create conversations that connect.
We’re looking for more people to join this conversation - if you would like to get involved, please send us a message in confidence to 07593 220510 with your name and number and we’ll get back to you.
For more ideas and support if you are feeling lonely, call the British Red Cross on 0808 196 3651 or visit www.redcross.org.uk/get-help/get-help-with-loneliness/
