Some of the ways people can suffer from loss was highlighted on last week’s Secret Millionaire programme on Channel 4.
The show takes takes a millionaire from their luxury lifestyle and sends them out undercover to find people making a difference and which the millionaire can help in return with a donation. This episode followed Edward Douglas-Miller, who tragically lost a daughter just after birth and had sight problems which he feared could lead to losing his sight.
One person was Bernie Reddington, who works in the same role as me at Action for Blind People in Norwich (Assistive Technology Coordinator). Having lost her sight 17 years ago and two of her children inheriting the condition she has, she showed how she copes being totally blind and helping others in similar situations.
The programme also met a woman running a charity that helps bereaved parents and a man with motor neurones disease. An emotional watch, available on Channel 4’s catch up web site 4oD:
