Losing a job ‘can cause same grief as loss of loved one’

PEOPLE who lose their job can experience the same grief as those who lose a loved one, a bereavement counsellor and award-winning author has said.

Broadcaster Christy Kenneally, who presented RTÉ’s No Frontiers, was speaking ahead of a nationwide public lecture tour on how to cope with bereavement.

The first talk in the ‘From heartbreak to hope – coping with loss in a time of change’ series takes place in his native Cork next Monday.
