How wind phones are making space for grief and connection after death

from Life Matters - Separate stories podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

After someone you love dies, it's often the small things that hit the hardest. A song on the radio. Driving past their favourite picnic spot. Reaching for your phone to call them after a rough day and then remembering you can't.That's where the wind phone comes in — an old rotary phone, connected to nothing, created as a quiet place to "talk" to someone who's passed away.What began as one man's way of coping with loss, has since spread around the world, opening up space for conversations about death, loss and grief.
