Our new Grief Café: A warm space to connect and heal

At St John’s Hospice, we recognise that grief can take many shapes and follow different timelines. Whether your loss is recent or happened years ago, the road through bereavement can feel isolating, confusing and deeply personal. That is why we are proud to announce the launch of our new Grief Café, a weekly drop-in space designed to bring people together in understanding, companionship and shared compassion.

‍

What is the Grief Café?

The Grief Café is a gentle, non-judgmental space open to anyone who has experienced a loss connected to St John’s Hospice. The atmosphere is relaxed: you can chat over a hot drink, reflect quietly, or listen as others share. There is absolutely no obligation to speak; sometimes the mere presence of others who “get it” brings the greatest comfort.

‍

When and where is it?‍

The Grief Café takes place every Wednesday from 11:30am to 12:30pm in the St John’s Hospice Wellbeing Centre, located at 60 Grove End Road, London NW8 9NH.

‍

Where do I sign up?

You don’t need to book just come along when you feel ready. If you would like any further information before attending, you can contact our friendly team HospiceSWB@hje.org.uk or 020 7806 4017.

We hope that you'll join us at the Grief Café, to share space, stories, and solace with others who truly understand.
