In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with TEDx speaker, grief advocate, and mother Nicola Marshall.Nicola's life changed forever when her 12-year-old son, Lucas, tragically fell from a balcony while the family was on holiday in Spain. The unimaginable loss of a child is something no parent expects to face, yet Nicola has found a way to transform her pain into purpose.Since Lucas's death, Nicola has dedicated herself to helping others navigate grief, loss, and life after tragedy. Through her speaking, coaching, and advocacy work, she has become a source of hope and understanding for people facing some of life's darkest moments.This episode is an honest and powerful exploration of love, loss, resilience, and the strength of the human spirit. Nicola's story is heartbreaking, but it is also one of courage, compassion, and finding meaning in the aftermath of unimaginable tragedy.Recommended Books: The Body keeps The Score by Bessel van der Kolk.Nicola’s Links:TEDx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYF_4m4r5YwWeb: www.nicola-marshall.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicola.marshall.752Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicolamarshall.griefandgrace/?hl=en-gbConnect with your host Louise Bates: https://linktr.ee/louisebates If this episode moved you, please consider leaving a review and sharing it with someone who might need it.You help this show reach others walking their own path through grief.
