From wedding celebrant to end-of-life care

“Grief is a normal and open conversation at Anam Cara.

“The only way we can tackle (the taboo) is a case-by-case, if we open up the conversations, it’s important we demonstrate and use language around death and dying, not as something to be feared.

“Often we find it hard to have tough conversations … and in the time when we need connection most often its lacking.

“It can be out of a fear of death and seeing someone that is grieving, but most people just need to be seen and heard, they don’t need answers to all their questions.”

– Spiritual Care at Anam Cara, Jo Betz
