Beth and Ella return for the second episode of the collaboration with Teapot Trust to talk about how medical professionals and support networks can help grieving young people with chronic illnesses. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground. The conversation covers their frustrations with separating grief from chronic illness, advocating for themselves when talking to medical staff, and simple ways friends and family can show their support.
