Does talking about death and dying with loved ones, friends, colleagues feel possible?

The theme of Dying Matters week this year is ‘Let’s talk about death and dying. We’ll be hosting a community space at the Cornerstone Community Centre in central Hove to contemplate why this is important and share our experiences over a cuppa.

This event, as always, is free to attend 💛

Our first of 2026 is taking place this Thursday at 10:30am at the Cornerstone Community Centre in central Hove. Join us for elevenses - free herbal tea and biscuits - as we be together with our grief.

Hosted by Hannah, we offer a collaborative, community grief space which is shaped by everyone who attends. You are welcome as often as you like, whenever feels right for you.

The morning includes a warm-welcome, a cuppa, a plate of biscuits, poetry and the opportunity to share if you’d like too - it’s not compulsory and you can listen if that feels more serving for you at the time.

DM me if you have any questions about coming along and how our time together tends to unfold.
Hannah 💗

🎄As always, the intention for our Christmas Dying to Share meet-up is to welcome grief with warmth this Yule-time.

And perhaps sitting together with warm tea and a mince pie might help soften the edges and create the space to feel the unspoken emotions that are rising at this time of the year.

Grief at any point of the year is hard, grief at Christmas can make even the strongest of us want to hide in bed/ enter into a dark hole/ flee the country… until the New Year arrives.

Dying to Share and the are places to be with your grief, with others who get grief. You don’t have to pretend to be ok or ‘get through’ it, instead come as you are. We’re here.

This is a community, collaborative grief space and it is always free to attend. You’ll be welcomed with a tea which is optional and we sit in circle together, each lighting a candle when we arrive. There is no expectation you’ll share, you’re very welcome to simply be with us and listen.

I am so grateful for you sharing this information with anyone who is with grief. We’re here.

Lots of love,
Hannah ❤️

Grief can be so lonely, so isolating. Often it has the power to make you wonder ‘how do I go on’ or ‘how can I possibly live life like I did before’ or ‘who am I now without this person’?

These are big questions, and you might think ‘who will be with me whilst I face up to them and sit with the discomfort of the grief that’s found a home within me?’

Your questions, your grief and your emotions are all welcome at Dying to Share.

is happening this Thursday 11 September at 10:30am at the Cornerstone Community Centre. It will forever be free to attend and there is always a cuppa waiting for you.

Love, Hannah 🩷

🧡 Why we don’t pathologise grief 🧡

Grief is a fundamental part of our human experience. Trying to define a timeline or a process can be inaccurate and harmful. Grief is not a mental health ‘disorder’, it is the most natural response to loss and to a bereavement.

Many attend and the because they have felt isolated, like they are ‘doing grief wrong’ or they have been told they should have ‘moved on’ by now.

Dying to Share has been part of the Brighton and Hove community since 2019, here is what we have learned from members who have attended sometimes once, sometimes multiple times, sometimes regularly.

We warmly welcome you and your grief, however it is showing up for you, no matter how long ago you experienced loss. You are a welcome to attend as many times as you like, whenever you like.

is happening this Thursday 12th June at 10:30am at the Cornerstone Community Centre. It will forever be free to attend and there is always a cuppa waiting for you.

Love, Hannah 🩷

On Saturday 3rd May I’m hosting an extra special Dying to Share event in honour of Dying Matters Week which runs between the 5th - 11th May.

Between 10am-midday everyone is welcome to join us at the Cornerstone Community Centre for a cuppa and a variety of biscuits and we’ll explore this year’s theme together.

This will be different to the usual community collaborative grief space I offer which is a place to share and express our loss and support one another as we witness their experience. These events run on Thursday 9th May (10:30am-midday) and Thursday 29th May (7:30pm-9pm).

Saturday we’ll explore how difference cultures experience, embody and be with their grief and reflect on how we have experienced loss and what that has been like based on where we have lived in the world.

Please share this with anyone who you sense might desire to join and be part of this community experience.

Love, Hannah 🧡
