My Endless Love: Continuing Bonds + Relationships That Endure (Continuing Bonds Panel)

"What we understand now is that although the person we love has died, the relationship with them very much continues, and so the love with that person never dies...and we love them in absence rather than presence." Julia Samuel
Much like the Victorians, we now understand that relationships endure - and even evolve - beyond death. The theory of continuing bonds explores our ongoing relationships with loved ones who have died and how the strength of these relationships can impact our experience of grief.
In this panel session with Julia Samuel, we hear from people who have integrated their lost loved ones into the lives of the living, and how these continuing bonds have provided comfort and continuity during times of pain and upheaval.
This session originally aired in October 2022.

It was a powerful session for me as it marked the launch of our book When Words Are Not Enough: creative responses to grief now available via bookshops everywhere as well as via The Good Grief Festival for a special discount to mark the launch of the book.

I'm sorry but the constant interruption by Julia when the participants were speaking ruined this video. It's like Julia really preferred to hear 'her own' voice more than the 2 contributors.
