Hello, I'm Hannah.

I'm Hasefa.

And I'm Kenya.

And this is a special podcast of our listener guest edit for the today program, which we've called Good Grief.

We've all just graduated from Newcastle University and our friendship was strengthened during our time there because we've all lost someone close to us

and as a result we were able to share our experience of grief. But for our guest edit of the today

program we wanted to look at why conversations about grief can be so difficult and why death for some

people is still taboo. In this podcast you'll hear our report from a death cafe in Bradford.

We'll look at whether we should be teaching children about bereavement in schools,

and we've spoken to the former England cricket captain Andrew Strauss about the foundation he set up in his wife's memory.

To start with, though, here's a bit about us and our experience of grief.

Like a long long lonely stream,

I keep running towards a dream.

Moving on, moving on.

My dad was like a movie character

And the older I get the more

I look at some of the things he did in his life

And I just think

How was I lucky enough to be your daughter?

I lost my dad when I was 14 years old, he was the Motown DJ, and Stevie Wonder was one of his favourite singers.

And this song's really special to me. It has such a positive outlook that it's really helped me through some tough times.
