Good Grief is opening up important conversations about death, loss and grief
Young people who have accessed Youthlife and Foyle Hospice services have come together to devise a special performance, funded by Hospice UK, sharing their personal stories and experiences in a brave, creative and honest way.
At the heart of the performance is Camp Cairn, a fictional campsite at the foot of a mountain that can only be reached through loss. Each traveller arrives by a different path, carrying their own memories, belongings and experience of grief.
The story is inspired by the meaning of a cairn — stones left along a route to help others find their way. In Good Grief, it becomes a reminder that while nobody can walk the journey of grief for someone else, others have walked similar paths before.
It has been a real privilege for Foyle Hospice to be involved in this project, and we are so proud of the young people who have helped shape it, including designing the poster themselves.
The performance takes place at New Gate Theatre this weekend 12th September.
