Loss is the price we pay for love and attachment. It floors us. It leaves its mark upon us, changing us irrevocably. As humans we are hardwired for connection, yet we live in a world of impermanence. We grieve people, places, possessions, projects and status. All types of loss can trigger the grief response – not just death. – Dr Lucy Hone

Join world-renowned Dr Lucy Hone, who has first-hand experience of living with great loss, for an exploration of the tools we can all learn to cope with grief; not just death, but divorce, infertility, miscarriage, childlessness, illness, redundancy, dementia … any other of life’s painful shifts and changes. Chaired by Kathryn Lellman.

“Lucy’s insights are practical, wise and deeply human – they stay with you long after you read them.” – Chelsea Pottenger, author of The Mindful High Performer
