Continuing Bonds Workshop – Exploring Ongoing Connections in Grief

We’re pleased to share a compassionate and reflective workshop that invites people to explore how relationships with loved ones can continue in meaningful ways, even after someone has died. This approach — known as continuing bonds — recognises that grief doesn’t always mean letting go, but can include holding treasured connections in new forms.

📅 When: 14 January 2026
🕙 Time: 10:00am – 12:00pm
📍 Where: Sue Ryder Wheatfields Hospice, Headingley, Leeds
💛 Cost: Free to attend, open to all

In this workshop you’ll:
✨ Learn about the continuing bonds approach to grief
✨ Take part in guided reflection and gentle discussion
✨ Explore practical ways to honour ongoing connections with loved ones
✨ Leave with supportive tools and ideas to help you on your grief journey

This session is part of Full Circle’s ongoing commitment to creative, compassionate bereavement support in our community.

👉 Whether your loss is recent or years past, this is a welcoming space to reflect, connect, and reframe your experience of grief.

📣 Upcoming Online Event: The Role of Spirituality in Paediatric Palliative Care

We’re hosting a free online webinar exploring how spirituality supports children and families facing life-limiting illness — and why it matters so deeply in paediatric palliative care. 🌱💛

Led by Saarah, a Spiritual Care Practitioner from Martin House Children’s Hospice, this session will help attendees:

✨ Understand how to recognise and respond to spiritual distress in young patients
✨ Learn compassionate, inclusive approaches to support families from all belief backgrounds
✨ Discover the vital role of spiritual care practitioners and how to embed spiritual support even without a chaplain on your team

📅 When: 13 January 2026
📍 Where: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-role-of-spirituality-in-paediatric-palliative-care-tickets-1556077221859?aff=oddtdtcreator
⏱️ Duration: 1 hour
💻 Cost: Free to attend

This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone involved in caring for children — including healthcare professionals, carers, and families — to deepen their understanding of a key but often overlooked part of holistic care.

👉 Join us to learn, reflect, and ask questions about how we can better support children’s inner worlds during the most vulnerable times.

As the New Year begins, many of us reflect on resolutions and what truly matters. At Full Circle, we’re reminded that the most meaningful intentions are often simple — spending time with loved ones, having honest conversations, and caring for one another with kindness.

As we step into the year ahead, our resolution remains the same: to support families with compassion and openness, every step of the way.

What intentions or resolutions are you carrying into the New Year?

As a new year begins, many of us find ourselves reflecting, resetting, and thinking ahead.

Creating funeral wishes or making a simple plan can be a surprisingly positive part of that process. It’s not about dwelling on the end of life — it’s about making thoughtful choices while you have the space and clarity to do so.

Taking a little time now can:
Ensure your wishes are known and respected
Ease the emotional and practical burden on those you love
Give you peace of mind, knowing everything is in place

Whether it’s music, readings, values, or how you’d like to be remembered, setting out your wishes is a gentle act of care for yourself and for others.

A new year is a fresh chapter — and sometimes, planning ahead is one of the kindest resolutions you can make.

If you would like any support in pre-planning please get in touch and we will do our best to support you.

💛 Holding memories close 💛

For many people, finding a way to keep a loved one close can bring great comfort. This beautiful solid oak photo frame with an integrated ashes pod offers a quiet, meaningful way to do just that — bringing together a cherished photograph and a small part of someone deeply loved.

It’s not about moving on or letting go, but about creating a space for remembrance — a place where memories can live on, be revisited, and be held gently in everyday moments.

For those navigating loss, keepsakes like this can offer reassurance, connection, and a sense of closeness that words don’t always reach.

🤍 A simple, heartfelt way to honour a life and a love that will always remain.
