Being able to talk with and comfort people who are experiencing end of life, loss or bereavement can be a daunting prospect - but it needn't be that way.
Compassionate Conversations is a free awareness training session delivered by St Elizabeth Hospice.
It is aimed at helping people (aged 18+) build the skills and confidence to enable open, honest and sensitive conversations around end of life, loss and bereavement, whilst identifying ways to help and support others.
What does the session cover?
- Breaking down taboos and myths about death and dying
- Thinking about how we can have compassionate conversations
- How taking the time to lend a helping hand or a friendly ear can make a difference
- Identifying support services available for those experiencing end of life, loss and bereavement
Join Britten Pears Arts in the beautiful and peaceful surroundings of The Red House, Aldeburgh for a monthly Bereavement Café. The team offer a welcoming space for those coping with loss to gather, meet, talk, and find comfort and support in shared experiences.
Run by trained volunteers, with the support of St Elizabeth's Hospice, Britten Pears Arts hopes to provide a social space for people who are facing bereavement to talk about their experience of loss in a safe, relaxed environment.
In 2024, Britten Pears Arts is exploring the theme of Compassionate Communities in relation to end of life, grief and loss across all strands of our activity. Loss touches us all at some point in our lives.
