In the final episode of Grief Kind series two, Clover Stroud and GP Dr Amir Khan delve into Dr Khan’s experience of grief following the loss of his father Farouk from heart disease, a decade after his initial diagnosis. Dr Khan was just 26 years old at the time and had been living away from home to study medicine.

Dr Khan discusses how Muslim traditions, and his South Asian background impacted him and his family’s experience of grief in both positive and negative ways – from having to become the man of the house and arrange a funeral within days of his father’s passing, to having a constant flow of visitors offering support in the days and weeks that followed his dad’s death.

Dr. Khan also reflects on the loss of not only his father, but also the potential for a closer relationship that never had the chance to develop. He talks about the "what-ifs" and longing for a deeper connection with his father.

Dr Khan now supports bereaved patients at his GP surgery and his advice would be to ask those grieving how they're feeling, how they're coping, what you can do to help.
