Send us a Text Message.This week Nik is joined by Clare Bullen the Head of Clinical Services for England, Wales and Northern Ireland at Child Bereavement UK. They discuss the new screen adaptation of Matt Haig's book "A Boy Called Christmas' which deals with child bereavement. How do we talk to children and young people when a parent or loved one has died? How do we find the words to help them to process what’s happened and continue to grow as a person in the future? They talk about the importance of the truth, encouraging children to ask questions, and brave conversations...There's also the usual look at the week's medical news headlines and the week in daytime TV.Clare’s song choice:https://open.spotify.com/track/265Anh9hGoozFigjUVLUeD?si=fODwQz1jSRu_VxRrFrjSrgDaytime TVPaddy and Christine McGuinness :https://twitter.com/bbcbreakfast/status/1465672474943791109?s=21Pledge to end HIV by 2030https://twitter.com/bbcbreakfast/status/1465930752235868161?s=21David Gandy suicide awareness https://twitter.com/bbcmorninglive/status/1465299537141108740?s=12Dr Punam Krishan, UTIshttps://twitter.com/bbcmorninglive/status/1465653643454173186?s=21Dr Rupy Aujla salt:https://twitter.com/bbcmorninglive/status/1465979787730694144?s=21Dr Xand Van Tulleken sleep:https://twitter.com/bbcmorninglive/status/1466338974180466688?s=21This Morning health headlines with Dr Sara Kayat:https://thismorningitv.page.link/bUAY66NnSpyxhJdu5A Boy Called Christmas- Matt Haighttps://www.sky.com/watch/title/programme/7b031ea2-962e-4a5c-9cca-6a464fdb854aThe Truth Pixie - Matt HaigThe Invisible String by Patrice KarstChild Bereavement UK: Helpline: 0800 02 888 40https://www.childbereavementuk.org/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMImNClruvX9AIVV-vtCh1omwPgEAAYASAAEgL2wPD_BwETweet from The Children’s Grief Foundation Of Canada :https://twitter.com/thecgfc/status/1467856355167985674?s=21Widowed and Young: httpsTwitter: @BoggledDocs Instagram: @BoggledDocs #BDdose #BDRadarSend us a voice note: https://www.speakpipe.com/BoggledDocs Email: [email protected]:https://linktr.ee/BoggledDocs DISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
