It was a huge honour to welcome the fabulous Kathryn Mannix to University of Bristol for the first ever Bristol Centre for Grief Research & Engagement & Good Grief Festival event. Thank you so much to everyone who joined us -- here are some snaps of the day



We learnt so much from Robert Neimeyer & Carolyn Ng Portland Institute for Loss and Transition in the first session of our When Grief Is Complicated course. Check out this clip! There's less than a week left to register to join the course & access over 7 hours of content. More here: goodgrieffest.com/the-grief-acad…

Here's another sneak peek into our When Grief Is Complicated course which closes to new registrations this Tues (10th)! Mary-Frances O'Connor's Gone-But-Also-Everlasting Theory is a fascinating insight into the neurobiology of love & loss. Want to hear more? Visit: goodgrieffest.com/the-grief-acad…


We are sorry to share the news that author & @goodgrieffest contributor Anne Mayer Bird has died. In this GGF blog, Anne's daughter Catherine Mayer shares her eulogy & reflects on how their relationship was impacted by their shared experience of grief: goodgrieffest.com/journal/good-g…

Thanks to everyone at St Michael's Hospice (Hastings and Rother) & 18 Hours for a great kick off to Good Grief Hastings! Good Grief Festival will be part of the Coastal Community & Creative Health project, which uses creative approaches to address health inequalities.
