Carmella is a grief Counsellor and Author and it is a privilege to talk with her on a subject which is not brought to the light often enough. In her own words:

" Having lived through the death by drowning of my first son, Benjaya, aged five, followed by two miscarriages and the deaths of several other close loved ones, I have come to believe the grief journey can be akin to alchemy ~ defined as

‘The art of transmutation from base metal to gold’.

Yes, I was seared by the fire of grief but emerged stronger than before with an unshakable trust in grief as a transformative tool and a desire to help others break through rather than breaking down. "
