You’ll hear touching reflections from two of Bridget’s mates, Rochelle Flack and Henry Wagons, who both recently lost their beloved Keasha and Peeps. Plus, expert insight courtesy of Candice Mace from Griefline.
Griefline supports anyone experiencing grief via telephone support, online forums and support groups. More info can be found here.
