S3 Ep18 - Debbie Cohen – Coping with multiple losses

Welcome back to the Life and Loss podcast, where we have honest conversations about illness and grief. Today we're talking about experiencing multiple losses and the impact of compounded grief.

My guest today is Debbie who has endured unimaginable loss, saying goodbye to her best friend, partner, mother, father, and stepfather over the past 19 years. Each loss has been different, bringing its own emotions, challenges, and unanswered questions. As she navigates grief after grief, she’s found that there is no guidebook, no single way to process it all, and no clear endpoint.

In this episode, we’ll explore what it’s like to carry the weight of multiple losses.
