The first episode of Series 3 is a poignant and compelling conversation with Kathy Lapsley, co-founder of Liverpool based charity service Love Jasmine. Kathy shares her heartbreaking experience of losing their young child (Jasmine), along with the consequential challenges of accessing support, which led to Kathy and her family eventually founding Love Jasmine. We talked about the unimaginable pain of losing a child, and the subsequent challenges families often face when trying to cope in the aftermath of child loss. Kathy talks with great honesty and openness about her families experience, along with the inspiration and motivation for Kathy and her partner Rob to ultimately founder Love Jasmine. We discuss the amazing work at Love Jasmine, along with the various support available at the service, including Talking Therapy, Parent Support Groups, Grandparent Support Groups, Sibling Support and Coffee Morning Events.  

It was a real honour to talk with Kathy in the Therapy Shed. If you would like further information or support in relation to any of the issues discussed, Love Jasmine offers support to bereaved parents and families, and is accessible via telephone, email and online self-referral at https://www.lovejasmine.org.uk/contact-us
