Finding Your Way Through Grief
The Reverend Richard Coles & Sasha Bates chaired by Zoe Venditozzi

4.45pm – 5.45pm BST*

Whether it is pastoral care for the bereaved, discussions about the afterlife, or being called out to perform the last rites, death is part of the Reverend Richard Coles's life and work. But when his partner the Reverend David Coles died, shortly before Christmas in 2019, much about death took Coles by surprise. For one thing, David's death at the early age of forty-three was unexpected.

Ricahrd’s deeply personal account, The Madness of Grief, will resonate, unforgettably, with anyone who has lost a loved one. Plunged unexpectedly into widowhood at just 49 years old, psychotherapist Sasha Bates describes in searing honesty the agonisingly raw feelings unleashed by the loss of her husband and best friend, Bill. At the same time, she attempts to keep her therapist hat in place and create some perspective from psycho-analytic theory. Languages of Loss starts a necessary and overdue conversation about death and loss. It breaks down taboos and tries to find humour and light amidst the depressing, bewildering reality.

*This performance is pre-recorded and will be available to watch for three weeks after the broadcast date to accommodate different time zones.
