It’s great to be doing live events again! People ask so many interesting questions.
“Is a will a legal document?” someone asked the last time I stood on a podium, just before Covid-19 hit. The lawyers in the room were surprised. For them it was ‘Legal Studies – 101.’ But the person who asked the question started a conversation that benefitted everyone in the room.
The Wollongong community is holding “Conversations around Death and Dying” an event and morning tea on Wednesday March 30, 2022 and Good Grief! is a part of it. We’ve had to postpone a few times but we’re doing the Covid-19 ‘pivot’ and our terrific organisers have set us up for live streaming.
Live streaming means we’ll be Covid safe – and you can join us from anywhere in the world.
This means we’ll not only be Covid safe – but you can join us from anywhere in the world!
We’d love to see you – either in person or via live stream.
So exciting!
