Grief and Bereavement Arena


I stumbled across this very useful resource created by the publishers, Routledge. They have developed an online and accessible space which is shared by professionals on death and bereavement, and those who have personal experience of bereavement. This seems to be a good step in the direction of a general education about death which needs to take place in society and in our schools, along side the now well-established general education on sex, childbirth and parenting, or even personal finance education. Children should learn about the end of life, as well as the beginning of life, and a more modest view of our physical mortality (including a greater acceptance of the ageing process) should prevail.

Hi, you have provided a great resource yourself with an excellent group of links. I can imagine that for a long time (and probably still?) the thought of feeling happiness again was impossible so I was very glad to read that you have hope for a "new kind of happiness" in the future. I am sending you all my very best wishes and prayers.
