Listen with us
One-minute voice notes: tiny sound portraits of love, loss and memory. Messages to those we’ve lost, or about them. They’ve come together as Grief Notes, a collective act of remembrance.
Research conducted by YouGov on behalf of Co-op Funeral care highlights that as many as 13 million UK adults who are battling grief following a recent bereavement are experiencing feelings of loneliness, or dealing with challenges to their mental wellbeing this Christmas.
With over 28 million UK adults (54%) having experienced the loss of a loved one in the last five years.
For this project, I did an open call. 50 people from around the world sent one-minute voice notes: tiny sound portraits of love, loss and memory. Messages to those we’ve lost, or about them.
They’ve come together as Grief Notes, a collective act of remembrance.
The voice notes are stitched together into a short, raw audio piece: a project that normalises talking about death and enduring connections. Turning grief into something shareable and communal.
We met as a closed group to have a listening session, and I facilitating a creative, therapeutic workshop as part of the exchange.
I want to give a special thanks to my friend Jonny Bee who put these podcast episodes together with such care, compassion and love.
And thank you to each and every person who submitted a Grief Note, listened along and shared it with a pal. We’re better together.
