Sitting in the Space with Mary
Welcome to Sitting in the Space with Mary.
A Podcast sharing stories of sitting in the tough emotional spaces of health crises and diagnosis. Mary Prentice is your host, a Pastoral Practitioner for the past 9 years, where I have spoken to and supported thousands of patients and family members in hospitals in Western Australia.
In each episode I interview either a patient who has touched their own mortality or health challenge, or a member of the medical team or a family member who has sat alongside patients during these crisis times.
Tune in fortnightly to hear stories that will make you hold your breath or cheer! Get in touch if you have a story to share - it will no doubt help others in a similar situation. Please, share this podcast with a friend or someone you care about.

Episode 9 Missing Mum at Mothers Day - Part One
Please don't be put off by this title!
Mums are unique and so too are our relationships with them... Just experiencing Mother's Day 2024 is cause for great celebration of the role of motherhood, and an opportunity to reflect on what our mothers have done for us. Part one of this theme has 3 guests who share the good memories and lessons they learned from their mums.... Raf Rogers, Peter Kennedy and Robyn Farrands all tell uplifting stories of their Mums who died during Covid - with some associated challenges. Tune in, share with friends, and send me a message on www.sitswmary.com with your thoughts about this topic.
Take Care, Mary
Please contact me if you would like to listen to a certain aspect of the emotional experience around medical diagnosis, treatment, surviving or dying.
My hope is that the experiences shared on the podcast can be related to and possibly provide comfort and some healing.
I wish you well.
Mary
