Good Friday Meditation

Radio 4, 3pm

The third hour, the moment

of Christ’s death on Golgotha,

is marked by this reflection

on death by Anglican priest

the Rev Sharon Grenham-

Thompson, right. Her son, Leo,

died in tragic circumstances

last year, forcing a woman

whose work involves

bringing comfort to bereaved

families to navigate her own

journey of profound loss. She

draws parallels between the

Good Friday story and her

experience, reflecting on the

seven phrases reportedly

uttered by Jesus in the final

hours before his death, as well

as the heartbreak of his

mother Mary. A moving

journey into the crucible of

pain. Ben Dowell
