SIBBS Newsletter, Winter 2021

SIBBS Newsletter, Winter 2021 | www.tcf.org.uk 15 Email Julia at: mensgriefproject@gmail.com Please pass this on to other brothers/fathers/family and friends too. Men's grief project: we too grieve I lost my 23 year old brother 2 years ago to an accidental overdose as part of his struggle with addiction, and bore witness to my parents losing their beloved child. I also saw how different the world treated and expected of my father versus my mother. We need to change the way we see and treat men experiencing loss. Over the next 9 months I am creating a documentary, and accompanying anthology, about just this. Please get in touch if you are interested in: • Contributing any poetry, thoughts, pieces of writing for the book on men’s grief (ALL men who have experienced loss. Can be anonymous or not) • Telling your story of loss and ongoing experience of grief for a small-scale, intimate short film (UK only; bereaved fathers and brothers)
