Uncle Michael Welsh is a Wailwan man and member of the Stolen Generations. The 71-year-old shares his story of grief and healing; how he used alcohol and violence to suppress the trauma and abuse he says he confronted at Kinchela Boys home, before finally finding safety and comfort to share his story among other men who were subject to the same trauma. In an extra episode for the Living Loss series, Catriona Stirrat speaks to Uncle Michael about his journey with The Healing Foundation's Stolen Generations Reference Group, and how he navigates grief.
