Episode 39: The Child Grief Counsellor

Zodwa Mabusela works for Khululeka, the only organisation in South Africa focused on children's grief.

In this episode, Zodwa explains why it’s often difficult to help children in their grief, and what we can do about it. She also shares her experience of working in some of our poorest communities, and what all children go through when it comes to death and loss of a loved one, regardless of your circumstances.

Later on in the episode, Zodwa opens up - with great courage and candour - to tell the the story of the loss of her own daughter, and how she has dealt with her grief, and used this experience to strengthen the vital work she does.
