Grief Walk and Talk - Two Years On: Finding connection through loss

Led by Clare Spiers, Grief Recovery Specialist, the Grief Walk and Talk has been running every month for the past two years, offering comfort, understanding and companion to those navigating life after loss.

Clare describes it as “a club no one wants to be part of, but where everyone understands.”

The walk is open to anyone who has experienced any type of loss whether that’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a change in health or another life transition.

Participants are encouraged to walk, talk or simply share space with others who “get it.” The pace is gentle, the atmosphere relaxed, and there is no need to book just come as you are.

National Grief Awareness Week aims to break the taboo around grief and to help those who are struggling feel less alone. It encourages open conversations about loss, reminding us that grief is a natural part of life and that support and connection can make a world of difference.

Reflecting on two years of monthly walks, Clare said:

“Grief can be incredibly isolating, and yet it’s something we will all experience. The Grief Walk and Talk gives people a chance to meet others who truly understand to talk, to listen or simply to walk side by side in quiet companionship. It’s a safe space to be real about loss, without judgment or expectation.”
