Are you a bereaved parent or sibling?  Has the death of your child or your brother or sister left you with a grief that feels too heavy a burden to carry on your own? Do you feel isolated and unmotivated? 

As a bereaved family ourselves we know how you feel. When our son and brother Joshua died in 2011, we were not only thrown into the deepest anguish and pain, but we also seemed to lose all direction in life. Our minds became fogged and it felt like our bodies had turned to mush. Thirteen years later our grief is a less hostile companion and we’ve learnt to accommodate our loss in ways we never thought possible all those years ago.  

If our grief has been a learning curve, one of the main lessons is to adopt a proactive approach – not to shy away from difficult feelings but to ‘lean into our grief’ in ways that are both creative and active.  These are the fundamentals of our ACTIVE GRIEF PROGRAMME of weekend retreats.

A NEW IDEA – A NEW PROGRAMME

The Good Grief Project has now launched Grief-Fit, a new programme focusing on mental health, physical fitness and self-care.  It is led by Josh’s brother Joe, himself an experienced and fully qualified physical trainer who facilitates the physical exercise sessions on our retreats.
