"Offering support and strength"

Author Jane Harris said: After two years of covid and so many bereavements we are delighted to share our book dedicated to all who grieve. This is a time to take stock, to reflect and regroup, to understand collective grief, and perhaps open up more sensitive conversations about death, dying and bereavement. We hope anyone who grieves can find support, strength and guidance from the stories in our book.

Jimmy Edmonds says: In the first two years after Josh died I didn‘t want to hear about anyone else’s grief. But by making new photographs about him and my relationship with him, I found that I was better able to accept his death as real. Sharing these images and then discovering how other people were also finding creative ways of expressing their grief was crucial to regaining my own sanity.
