Thrive: Wellbeing with St John's
Caroline Roodhouse on Raising Children & Teens Through Grief
Trigger warning: This episode contains themes of suicide and bereavement. No one wants to face loss, especially when it impacts our children too. In this episode of Thrive with St. John’s, I speak with Caroline Roodhouse, author of Daddy Blackbird. Her book offers a raw, honest look at her family’s journey through grief and how they found ways of surviving after her husband’s suicide. We explore how grief impacts children and teenagers, and offer ways to talk about bereavement and support families as they reshape their lives after loss. Most importantly, we discuss how hope can be found, even during the darkest times. You can find Daddy Blackbird here. 📍 Learn more about us Thrive is brought to you by leading independent school St. John's School in Surrey, UK, for pupils aged 11 to 18. 📧 Contact us: thrive@stjohns.surrey.sch.uk
