Grief
Kind
To highlight our new research, which has revealed that mealtimes are particularly difficult for people who are grieving, we’ve installed a dining table surrounded by 13 empty chairs at Victoria Leeds shopping centre.
Each seat at the table represents a person who has died, and acts as a call to the public to support their grieving family and friends so that no one has to go through grief alone.

David’s
story:
How
wild
swimming
helped
me
cope
with
my
wife’s
death
David took up wild swimming when his wife Sarah was diagnosed with a life-changing illness. Having given up work to care for her, he found his new hobby was not only good for his own health, but also provided much-needed structure and a sense of community.
Since Sarah’s death in March 2023 wild swimming has continued to bring David solace. He recently completed the Thames Marathon to raise funds for Sue Ryder after the Wokingham team provided palliative care for Sarah in her final months.

Humour
and
grief
Jokes, comedy, and laughter are not just normal parts of grief, they can also help us feel better. We know that often people can feel guilty about laughing or joking after someone important to them has died, and we want them to know that it is normal and nothing to be ashamed of.
