Around 27 strangers gathered in Bell House on a lovely summer evening and after an introduction the group split into three tables facillitated by me, Trevor Moore and Melanie Woollcombe.
We discussed the different grieving processes between a long drawn out death (and the ‘double bereavement’ when someone has dementia) and a sudden death. Which is harder to bear?
Is it a good idea to keep remembering someone by visiting a grave and looking at/holding things that belonged to them - or is it better to make a ‘clean break’ and move on?
How do we best encourage someone to talk about death, especially if they are seriously ...

We had great conversations from a group of engaged participants. There was interest in sharing very personal stories about friends and family members and their contribution to the participants journey toward death. It was fascinating to learn how each person was influenced by their interpersonal experiences. Several people had professional experiences that also contributed to their growth. One participant commented on how vulnerable the group was willing to be and how that, in turn, encouraged more openness. We probed into some unexplored places and people were left with questions to further explore. It was satisfying to see so much contemplation. It warmed my heart to be a witness.
