The conversation covers how to tell the school and teachers, the importance of being as flexible as possible with schoolwork, and the impact of having a safe space and someone to talk to.

Christmas is over, let's look to the New Year. We're rebooting this episode from season 3, where Grace and Olivia share their experiences and provide some advice for other grieving young people.

We’re back to kickstart season 3 of Grief in Common with Olivia and Grace, who both lost their dads to cancer aged 11 and 8. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground. The conversation covers turning New Year’s resolutions into a 2025 bingo card, how they’re growing around their grief as they get older, and the importance of being kind to yourself.
