We’re All Going to Die and That’s OK at Colston Hall Foyer

A event held at Bristol Beacon Foyer on Saturday 16th May. The event starts at 16:00.


This event is part of Good Grief Bristol, A Festival of Love and Loss. 11-17 May 2020 (https://goodgriefbristol.com/).

Can we embrace a lifetime of love, adventure, curiosity and wonder, acknowledging and accepting the inevitability of having to experience grief, loss and death? End-of-life doula Anna Lyons and progressive funeral director Louise Winter think we can.

In Anna and Louise’s talk, the two share important lessons learned from their work with the living, the dying, the dead and the grieving. Together they’ll share a profound but practical guide to rethinking the one thing that’s guaranteed to happen to us all.

This talk isn’t about how to have a good death, it’s about how to live a good life. It’s not about how to plan a perfect funeral, it’s about how best to honour the people who have died. It’s not about how to get over grief, it’s about how we can learn to live with it.

Concessions are available for OAPs, students, under 18s, the unwaged, and people with disabilities.
