Introducing our booklet ‘Has Someone You Loved Died?’ and offering ways to talk about death and loss with people with learning disabilities
Who is this for? – Anyone – families, carers, friends, those offering pastoral/spiritual care, professionals, church leaders. Our booklet includes prayer and familiar Bible verses, but may be helpful whatever your beliefs surrounding death.
How do I get your booklet? – Email: hilary.lacroix@prospectsacrossscotland with your name and address. It will be sent to you free of charge but we ask for a minimum donation of £3.00 to cover P&P. It is a high-quality, wire-bound, 50 page colour booklet. We want to get into the hands of people with learning disabilities!
Is the booklet available online? – It can be downloaded FREE from our website: https://www.prospectsacrossscotland.org.uk/sdm_downloads/bereavement-booklet-2/ Please use quality paper and colour printing, plus an attractive binder if using with a bereaved person. You can also print and laminate individual pages if helpful.
Is this session useful without the booklet? – We hope so! We offer ways to talk about death, how grief affects people with learning disabilities, communication and gentle pastoral care. This session may be a helpful first step for you.
Can I bring my questions? – Yes – there will be space to ask questions either directly or using the online chat function – you can either put questions/thoughts to the whole group or anonymously directly to Hilary.
