The next Creating Conversations CIC Grief Cafe at Wanstead Library is on Thursday, 15 October.

Have you been thinking about attending, but feeling a little unsure?

You might be wondering what to expect, whether you’ll feel comfortable, or even whether you’ll be able to talk about what you’re going through.

We hope this short film from the Grief Cafe community helps you learn more about what to expect and the many benefits of attending. Sometimes, being around others who understand can offer a little breathing space from the loneliness of grief.

So, if you’ve been thinking about attending but haven’t quite felt ready, why not give it a go? You might find it’s easier than you imagined.

Creating Conversations CIC run their Grief Cafe with Redbridge Libraries on the third Thursday of every month.

You can book your place here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/the-death-positive-library-30239235224

We look forward to seeing you there.
