ADHD, grief, and the fear of forgetting | S3 05
How does grief impact the transition from teenager to adulthood? Iman returns to talk about how grief affected her university experience and the need to take a step back to cope with her grief and resume her studies. Toby makes a second debut to share about the death of their father at age 14, which led to pursuing university and gaining independence as a young adult. Troy, a SEND advocate and volunteer, talks about his recent losses and how grief inspired him to become a voice for bereaved young people in his community. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground.
