Information Evening on Death and Dying – what do we do with grief?

Please come and join us for a shared conversation on ‘all things grief’. With no predetermined agenda other than the questions we bring and the information we share about something that touches us all.

‘The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one; you’ll learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again, but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to.’ 

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and David Kessler "On Grief and Grieving"
