Rhian Mannings | Turning trauma into triumph: Filling the vacuum in bereavement support
Rhian Mannings | Turning trauma into triumph: Filling the vacuum in bereavement support
This episode contains reference to suicide and infant death that listeners may find upsetting.
In this episode of Just Covered, we speak with Rhian Mannings, founder of the 2Wish Charity about her emotional and thought-provoking story. In 2012, Rhian suffered a deeply profound and challenging experience, losing both her infant son and husband in just a matter of days. It changed her life forever. And, the clear absence of bereavement support in her Welsh community caused her to set up her own charity service. Today, it operates in England too and her incredible work has been recognised with an MBE, the New Year Honours list, and more. It’s a powerful story that some listeners may find upsetting.
This episode also covers:
· The best ways to approach grieving and traumatised clients, as well as dealing with children in traumatic circumstances.
· Key challenges for bereavement services in the UK.
· Understanding some of the financial implications of loss and the role of advisers in empathetically addressing these issues.
