It was heartwarming to get the end of year newsletter from Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief this morning and learn that this year’s ‘To Absent Friends’ festival was the biggest ever.

it ran from 1-7 November and it included more than forty events of all kinds across Scotland.

You can see the full listing of events here, and there was some good press coverage as well. Read about Say Something Dundee’s events at the Dundee Botanic Garden in The Courier here and in a longer piece here, and a BBC News item about the launch of the Lonely Funeral project here.

You can even see a Photogallery here. Susan, Gerrie and Libby held a storytelling event – you can read about that here too.
