One Year On... Thank You!
This month marks one year since the beginning of Navigating Grief Together – In Memory of Brian Lambert, and I'd love you to join us for a very special evening as we reflect on our first year and look ahead to the future.
When I started Navigating Grief Together, my hope was simply to create a warm, welcoming place where nobody had to face grief alone. What I never imagined was how much this wonderful community would also help me.
To everyone who has attended any of our gatherings over the past year—whether you've been with us from the beginning, joined more recently, come occasionally, or attended in the past and would like to call in again—thank you. Together, you've created something truly special.
This evening is an opportunity to spend time together, welcome new faces, and share with others what makes Navigating Grief Together such a supportive and compassionate place.
If you've been thinking about coming along to one of our gatherings but haven't quite felt ready, this is the perfect opportunity to drop in, meet some of our attendees, have a chat over refreshments and simply get a feel for the group. There's absolutely no pressure to stay for the whole evening or to attend a future gathering.
We'll also be delighted to welcome healthcare professionals, employers, community groups and other organisations who would like to learn more about Navigating Grief Together, the support we provide, opportunities for referrals, or future partnership working.
I'm especially honoured that Mayor of Harrogate, Councillor Viv Poskitt, and Tom Gordon MP, Member of Parliament for Harrogate and Knaresborough, will be joining us during the evening.
On a personal note, I'd simply like to say thank you.
Although I founded Navigating Grief Together in memory of Brian, it has become so much more than I ever imagined. The friendships, kindness and support we've shared have given me purpose and strength during one of the most difficult chapters of my life, and I'll always be grateful for that.
Navigating Grief Together has never just been about me. It's about every person who has walked through the door, every story that has been shared, every friendship that has been made, and every act of kindness shown to someone who needed it.
Because every person matters. Every story matters. Every loss matters.
If you'd like to join us, all the details can be found on the poster below. We'd love to see you there.
