The Silent Why: finding hope in grief and loss

Send us a Text Message.

Many years ago, in 2021, The Silent Why podcast launched with one specific last question it wanted to ask all its 101 loss guests - What's your Herman?
Since then, it's been an exciting journey collecting Hermans (answers to this question). However, this year, in January 2024, I launched The Herman Company and all of a sudden (after a year of hard work!) Hermans became a real thing.
So, how and why did all this come about exactly? Well, that's what this episode is going to tell you.
Welcome to another My Why from Claire Sandys (co-host of The Silent Why podcast). My Why episodes are weekly audio shorts of my latest blog post. If you'd prefer to read it, you can find it here: https://www.thesilentwhy.com/post/thestoryofherman

If you're new to the podcast and have no idea what a Herman is at all, then you might want to listen to/read this (super short) episode first:

(you can also search on your podcast player for 'What's your Herman?')
This episode is about filling you in on how we got from just a question about Hermans to the real, live, little fellas being out in the world. It's the story of Herman.
