About Grief Wellies:
I set up Grief Wellies as a facebook site to support those who were grieving. Having been a cancer nurse for over 25 years I always thought I had a fairly good handle on death and dying. Then I lost my mum - she was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour and within 6 weeks she had died. The process for me has been surprising and one of the things I decided when starting on it was to set up a Death Cafe. A space for people to talk openly about death and dying and everything inbetween.
What brings you to Death Cafe?
As above I have always worked in cancer nursing but since losing my mum have wanted to do more on a personal level for my local community
What would you like your legacy to be?
Tried her best, made mistakes but never promised what she couldn't do.

"Grief has no rules. Sometimes you've just got to put on your wellies and stomp through the mud day by day "

Since setting up Grief wellies 7 years ago I have been dabbling with the idea of running a “Death Cafe” but it never seemed the right time. I think mainly because it’s taken me this long to really process my own response to ...
