Asking For a Parent

Mar 24 2021 • 58 mins

This week's guest on the podcast is Benji Bennett who is the author of the Children's Literary Series 'Adam'sCloud'. These books were inspired by Benji's son Adam who tragically passed away in 2007 at the tender age of 4 years old.   In this episode Benji tells us about the experience of losing Adam and the impact that the death of a child can have on families and communities. He talks honestly about the struggles and the things that helped him and his family get through it.   We discuss the importance of loss in terms of the last year and how we can all relate to the grief experienced through limited relationships and distance from loved ones and the inability to grieve as we normally would.   Benji's story is one of hope, and his philosophy of walk, read and love is really inspirational. We discuss the importance of the early years and the preciousness of time with our families. A really insightful episode not to be missed   Keywords: Loss , grief, bereavement, hope, resilience, early years
