We're living in a time when many people find death

We're living in a time when many people find death and grief - our own grief or other people's - almost impossible to talk about. We don't know what to say, what to do, or how to act. So we stay silent, we pretend that grief doesn't exist, or we hide it. This Grief Thing pushes against this, by opening conversations about grief and making it visible and accessible.

This Grief Thing is a project that invites people to think, talk and learn about grief. It was created by the two artists at Fevered Sleep and we are so excited to be working with them!

📣Following the success of our Grief Gathering groups last year in Northampton. We are excited to announce that we are looking to train three artists and creatives to become Grief Gathering hosts to create safe spaces to talk about grief. This would include a training day and ongoing support with Fevered Sleep and working with us to organise consistent groups around Northampton.

We would also like to thank Northampton Community Foundation for funding the programme.
