112: Grow Through Grief with Charlotte Rush

Unbroken: Healing Through Storytelling

Charlotte Rush is a Marketing Director with a career spanning over 20 years. In recent months she has started to embark on a journey of becoming a lived experience speaker, telling her story, which details how she has been shaped by grief, and how she's now playing an active role in moving beyond it.

An orphan by the age of five, Charlotte is currently writing a book about her life, which was initially merely a form of therapy for herself.

Charlotte now hopes that by sharing her story she can help others understand how you can emerge from a life defined by grief to build something meaningful and loving.

It’s a story of resilience – about how even the darkest and most disabling challenges life can throw at you can be overcome with drive and determination and a growing understanding of the grieving process

Some key points from our interview:

· How unbroken means being able to adapt to life’s biggest challenges that are thrown at you

· How she lost both of her parents by the time she was five years old and went on to live with grief all her life

· How she never had any specialist support as a young child growing up with grief

· How she was recently diagnosed with PTSD because of her childhood even though it felt like it was just a normal life for her

· How she feels that she’s just on the start of her journey at aged forty

· How she now feels comfortable about living with grief all her life and decided to write her story down to help others
