Alongside the release of the new single, Abide With Me which is available across all platforms, Lighthouse Choir has recorded four episodes gathering people around a table to talk about grief, life and loss. The series, called ”Abide With Me a Conversation About Living Beyond Loss” features choir members, talking about their experiences of loss, alongside professionals who offer their insights about the experience of grief and dealing with life beyond loss.
On last week's episode we spoke to Niamh. She is one of the youngest members of Lighthouse Choir and speaks about her experience of how Covid impacted her education and how it affected the connection between her and her classmates before and after lockdown.

Over the past few years, many people have experienced loss in a variety of ways and have kept all the feelings and struggles inside. We hope that these conversations will motivate those struggling with their loss to look for the right help and people they can talk to. Talking helps!
If you are struggling with any of the issues raised in these conversations, you can contact your GP for a referral to your local talking therapy service or come and visit us at Liverpool Lighthouse to talk to our wellbeing and welfare worker for where to find support.
