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.

S2 Ep5 Lynette Adams Feeling and Expressing Grief
There are times in the course of our lives when we need to feel the feelings and recognise that we all experience losses and hence will grieve. Insights in this episode from pastoral practitioner and counsellor Lynette Adams who shares her sensitivity and insight into this tricky human condition of grieving. I welcome you to a gentle discussion of the topic.
