010. We've reached double figures in our search for 101 different types of loss.

And although all losses can be life-changing to those going through them, if you stopped people on the street and asked them what they might assume the ‘biggest’ loss to face was - a lot of people would probably answer with the one we’re chatting about here.

Loss #10 of 101 - Loss of a child.

In this episode we chat to Anna Whiston-Donaldson, who lost her 12-year-old son, Jack, a decade ago in a freak flooding accident in Virginia, US.

How has she found joy and healing over the last ten years? Is it the biggest loss a person can face? And what’s her link with Brood X cicadas? Hear her answers in the podcast.
