Our special guest today is Karen Omand who is a grief counsellor and thanatologist. Thanatology is the study of death and the losses brought about as a result. Thanatologists do not try to fix or take away the pain that is associated with death or non-death losses but bear witness to the pain with true empathy, building a safe and trusting relationship, validating, educating and helping the person learn to integrate their grief into their lives and to find meaning again.
