Giving parents more choice in child care and saying goodbye at a living funeral

Giving parents more choice in child care and saying goodbye at a living funeral

There are growing calls for the childcare subsidy to apply to a broader number of care options. Whether it's grandparents, nannies, au pairs, or whatever the case may be, how might that work? And if your choice is a childcare centre, what does that mean for you? When Jan Warnock was diagnosed with a terminal illness, she decided she wanted to say goodbye on her own terms. So the family held a living wake. Jan's husband Julian Warnock and anthropologist Cindy Stocken share how celebrating life before you go, with the people you love, can make space for grief and healing. For Head and Heart, resident psychologist Christine Bagley-Jones explains why it's human nature to judge people, but we have a choice to make about what to do with that judgement.
