Creating Conversations CIC - HWR Community Network

Creating Conversations CIC

Creating Conversations CIC create spaces for open conversations about death, dying and grief.

We provide a safe space for people to talk openly. We provide information and support about how to start conversations about dying, death and grief. We raise awareness of the importance of planning for the end of life and provide information about how to do this. We increase understanding of loss and grief and how to support someone who is grieving.

Activities are run in various locations across the London Boroughs of Redbridge and Waltham Forest.

Activities

• Death cafe

Events

Creating Conversations cafes are safe, confidential and friendly space where people, usually strangers, come together to openly talk about death, dying, grief and life!

There is no agenda or objectives; the conversation is simply led by the people in the group. It is a place to talk and share (or just listen) rather than a grief support group or a counselling session. We sit in small groups so it’s easy to participate.

Good Grief Café 

Grief Cafe - Thursday 18th July, 6.30-8.30pm at Wanstead Library.

Join Creating Conversations and Redbridge Libraries for their next Grief Cafe; a safe and confidential space to share, listen and connect with others around grief.

The Grief Cafes are a discussion group rather than a counselling session. Refreshments will be available.

Whatever your loss, and whether this is anticipated, recent or a long time ago, everyone is welcome.

From September, the Grief Cafes will take place every first Thursday evening of the month.

You can book your place on Eventbrite (with a small donation) here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/the-death-positive-library-30239235224

Why attend our Grief Cafe:

We know that navigating grief can, at times, be an incredibly isolating experience so we've set up these Grief Cafes to provide an informal and supportive place where people can come together to share and discuss their experiences of grief and loss and connect with others who understand.

Hearing diverse stories and perspectives on grief can also help us make sense of our own loss and grief. We might learn new or different coping strategies and ways of navigating the grieving process.
