Bereavement Matters - launching a special season this autumn
Bereavement charity AtaLoss is launching a two-month season dedicated to better awareness of grief and bereavement matters.
The national awareness campaign is running throughout November and December. The initiative will seek to enhance the grief and bereavement awareness weeks, themes and opportunities throughout the period, recognising the importance of responding well in our society.
The season will:
Shine a light on the realities of grief through real stories of loss, highlighting the wide-ranging impact of death on individuals and communities
Amplify key moments, including the Church 'Season of Remembering’, Remembrance Sunday, Children’s Grief Awareness Week and National Grief Awareness Week
Help people find support in the lead-up to and over Christmas - often one of the hardest times of year for those who are grieving
Spark conversations about death and bereavement
Promote the importance of support.
A moment to gather
The charity, AtaLoss, was formed ten years ago and they are celebrating the occasion with a special 10th anniversary Evensong at St Paul’s Cathedral on Friday, October 30, bringing together bereavement services, national and community leaders, dignitaries and public figures committed to change. Tickets are available now.
Yvonne Tulloch, CEO of AtaLoss says:
The Bereavement Matters season is another step in building a more grief-literate society. By increasing awareness and bringing people together, we can push for making sure every bereaved person in the UK can access timely and holistic support.
