SUMMARY:Formby Library - Loved and Lost: Grief Gathering
DESCRIPTION:A welcoming space for anyone—whether you've experienced grief 
 or not—to connect\, share feelings\, ideas and experiences around love & 
 loss.\n\nThis gathering is an inclusive space\, open to people of all 
 ages\, genders\, backgrounds and beliefs. You’re invited to share your 
 experiences and reflections around death and grief—but there’s no 
 pressure to speak. Listening and being present is enough.\n\nSituated in 
 the gardens of Formby Library\, there will be a moment to make simple\, 
 no-sew memory flags - something to take home\, or leave to be displayed 
 with care and gently fray over time.\n\nWe keep gatherings small\, limited 
 to 12 people maximum\, so booking is essential.\n\nThe garden is fully 
 accessible for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility via the 
 back of the car park. Refreshments (hot & cold) and cakes will be 
 provided.\n\n\nPlease let us know your access or dietary requirements when 
 booking\, so we can make the day comfortable & welcoming for you.\n\nThis 
 Grief Gathering is hosted by librarian\, Sarah Jones and artist Josh Coates 
 who have experiences of grief. \n\nWe're living at a time when many people 
 find death and grief - our own grief or other people's - almost impossible 
 to talk about. We don't know what to say\, what to do\, or how to act. So 
 we stay silent\, we pretend that grief doesn't exist\, or we hide it. This 
 Grief Thing pushes against this\, by opening up conversations about grief 
 and making it visible.\n\nAt The Library warmly thanks This Grief Thing - a 
 project that invites people to think\, talk and learn about grief. It was 
 created by the two artists at Fevered Sleep\, which inspired the Grief 
 Gatherings.
