Founder of The Good Grief Trust Linda Magistris OBE has shared her vision for ensuring everyone who is bereaved finds the help and hope they need during a conversation with HRH the Prince of Wales at her investiture at Windsor Castle.
Linda started the charity nine years ago after struggling to find the support she needed when her partner, BAFTA-winning director Graham Theakston, died aged 62.
In our updated Convex Conversation, Linda explains how interested Prince William was in the work the charity does and her aim to have signposting cards in NHS hospitals, schools, universities, GP surgeries etc to ensure no one in the UK faces grief alone. The charity unites more than 1,000 bereavement organisations under one umbrella.
