Forest Holme Hospice Charity, based in Poole, has launched a new 21-part podcast.

The podcast is aiming to provide valuable insights, advice and resources for those living with a life-limiting illness or experiencing the complex journey of grief.

Hosted by Forest Holme Hospice Charity’s CEO, Hannah O’ Hare, ‘Life & Loss’ brings together individuals of different ages and backgrounds with unique first-hand experiences, alongside healthcare professionals, to share their stories, knowledge, information and strategies for coping with the many challenges associated with life-limiting illnesses and grief.

Speaking on the launch of the podcast, Hannah said: “I’ve interviewed some incredible people who have shared their personal experiences of life limiting illness, death and grief. It’s been emotional, eye opening, heartwarming and everything in between.
