Brett Ratten, former AFL player and now head coach, talks openly about the death of his son Cooper in a tragic car accident five years ago. 

As well as the support he has received from his workplaces and friends.

One story that sticks out in particular from the conversation is how St.Kilda F.C. provided a very special moment for Brett in early 2020.

Support immediately after the event is very important but Brett discusses the importance of the ongoing support for anyone who's lost a loved one.

He offers advice to people who are grieving and some perspective on how the little things can make such a big difference.

Grief – It’s harder than nearly anything we experience in our life and in most cases we are doing it in isolation and trying to cover up how we really feel. 

I want to explore how we can support those grieving better – in particular in the workplace.

"Just those little things about acknowledging him. He might be not here but he is" - Brett Ratten

Brett Ratten

Stuart Diver is a name that most Australians over the age of 40 would know. 

He's the only survivor of the Thredbo tragedy in 1997 which claimed 18 lives, including his wife Sally.

Stuart remarried Rosanna a few years later and lived at Thredbo with their daughter Alessia until Rosanna died of breast cancer in 2015.

I found talking to Stuart truly inspirational – how he has dealt with grief, his amazingly positive attitude about this life and all it has to offer and what he has to say about love is truly heartwarming.

Just such a privilege to have this conversation with Stuart.

Special thanks to Kellie Curtain who introduced us over a year ago.

I hope you find this as uplifting as I did.

Guy Leech, Australian Ironman legend and fitness guru, talks about the death of his close friend – Nine Network reporter Charles ‘Chucky ‘ Stewart.

Chucky was on the water with Guy and others in the weekly paddling sessions , when he felt unwell and returned to shore.

When the group returned to shore a member of the group noticed somebody on the ground receiving CPR – it was Chuck.

Guy jumped and in and took over he CPR until the ambulance arrived. Chuck never regained consciousness and died a few days later.

That was 2016 – today Guy is the Founder of Heart 180 – its mission is to get a defibrillator onto those who suffer a heart attack within 3 minutes of the event – timing is critical in saving lives.

Last year I read a piece in The Guardian by Jock Cheetham titled – “When my partner died I couldn’t ask for help. I’m sharing in the hope others will reach out”

Jock talks to the struggles he had reaching out to people after the death of Neroli his partner. His article received much reaction from those who know him – strangely, it was those who reached out the most – who contacted Jock apologising – wishing they could have done more.
