Grief can't be shared. Everyone carries it alone, his own burden, his own way.

Conversations
Death and dying are part of all of our lives. This short film encourages us all to "Think Ahead" and plan for the future - this is often easier to do when there isn't the pressure, stress and uncertainty of illness. If we talk together before there are problems it makes a difference to how we and our loved ones cope.
Bill's Story
This short film explores the important role that friends and neighbours have in supporting someone who is seriously ill and their family.
Bobby's Story: Talking to Children
