Sorry the life you ordered is currently out of stock Recast | S5 | E8

In this recast of the second ever episode of ‘The Skies We’re Under’ Lucy, Sarah and Rachel talk about some of the helpful and unhelpful ways they deal with times of stress and transition.

This is not professional advice but an honest conversation about the trust of complex realities and how they try to live life well.

Content warning: Very early on in this episode we talk about the fear and potential for childhood death, DNACPR, childhood cancer and stroke.

They also do laugh a lot because this world we live in manages to have both sadness and laughter– despite the absurdity of it all.

Please do not listen to this episode if this will not serve you well. They also discuss the importance of conversations about children’s end of life care. Details of resources are below.

The following resources are discussed during the podcast:

• ReSPECT documents and end of life discussions.
• Completing the stress cycle. You can listen to the brilliant podcast with Brene Brown, Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski, How to complete the stress cycle. Or read Emily and Amelia’s book.
• Affinity hub website: emotional support for parents of children with special needs.
• Day-by-Day: emotional wellbeing in parents of disabled children. Jo Griffin
