Good Grief Cafe - for residents of the London Borough of Waltham Forest

This Good Grief Cafe is open to Waltham Forest residents aged over 18 and adult users of Waltham Forest Health and Care services. We are running them every third Saturday of the month between Feb and June 2024.

They are an informal and supportive place where people can come together to share and discuss their experiences of grief and loss and connect with others who understand.

We know that grief can, at times, feel isolating so attending a Grief Cafe and sharing experiences and feelings with others can help reduce feelings of loneliness.

Also, hearing diverse stories and perspectives on grief can help us make sense of our own loss and grief. We might learn new or different coping strategies and ways of navigating the grieving process.

At our Grief Cafes, we sit in small groups so it’s easy to talk, or just listen, and each group has a ‘table host’ to ensure everyone can participate in the way they wish to.

It’s important to note that our grief cafes aren’t therapy or educational sessions. They’re simply places for people to gather, share, listen, and support each other.

Whatever your loss, and whether this is anticipated, recent or a long time ago, everyone is welcome.
