In the last year, there have been over 50,000 additional deaths in the UK. Many people have lost jobs, social life, family, grieved a loss of important religious festivals or simple lost a way of life. We have heard from many Faith Communities about the complexity and challenge of supporting grief at this time. Remembering has therefore been created with one task in mind - providing space for health grief and bereavement in the midst of Covid-19.

We wanted to create a set of creative resources which will help Faith Communities help others to grieve well. This book hopefully lifts some of the weight of trying to come up with new ideas when often our traditional focal points of Mosque, Church or Temple aren’t as accessible as they were. It also provides a way for Faith Communities to continue and develop their vital work in local communities.
