Creative mistakes are simply part of the process of getting where you want to be. Some people might call it growth mindset. Barry says it’s just his engineer brain 🤷🏼♀️ Read Barry’s inspiring story of #grief + #creativity here: projectinggrief.com/barry
“Slowly, I started unlearning all of this stuff about perfectionism and trying to be good. The fear of not being good enough - whatever ‘good enough’ is - had stopped me for so long. projectinggrief.com/sarah-b #grief
LOVE THE BEER MATS! York, keep those eyes peeled! #PicturingGrief
LOVE THE BEER MATS! York, keep those eyes peeled! #PicturingGrief
Chuffed to get a shout-out in @guardian in this thoughtful piece about #CelebrationDay (thank you @belgianwaffling!) We’re constantly inspired by the work our sitters create in memory of loved ones, including Marianne and Suchandrika mentioned here.
Sarah is a coach and facilitator in higher education, maternal support advocate, and birth doula. Her mum died in 2015. “I had the brightest light in him and the darkest dark in losing mum. Reconciling those two things was impossible.” projectinggrief.com/sarah-b #grief
“My previous world disappeared because the person I did everything (and nothing) with was no longer there.” Our penultimate image and quote from our series Picturing Grief this week: ✨ on curtains Thanks for all the likes, shares & lovely comments ❤️🩹 projectinggrief.com/picturing-grief
“It is almost like looking through gauze…colours are less bright, the scent of flowers is not as strong.” Flowers come up quite a lot in grief imagery, but this quote felt too beautiful not to illustrate. More on our collab @hriefyork collab: projectinggrief.com/picturing-grief
Can’t wait to spot some #PicturingGrief images in the wild!

“Your heart literally does ache. I didn’t know that.” As well as sharing online, images from our Picturing Grief collaboration with @GriefYork have been turned into postcards and coasters and left where people might stumble across them ❤️🩹 projectinggrief.com/picturing-grief
Grief imagery can be clichéd. Lilies. Hands. Someone with their head in their hands. With Picturing Grief - a collab with @GriefYork - we took real people’s words and created some intriguing images. The kind of thing that makes you think, “What’s this?” projectinggrief.com/picturing-grief
“I would look down at my hands and not recognise them” 🤲🏽 The @GriefYork Grief Survey is a substantial & hugely helpful resource and more people should be able to benefit from it ❤️🩹 We’re posting images daily during #dyingmattersawarenessweek projectinggrief.com/picturing-grief
Gorgeous day of creative workshopping at @FangfossPottery A chance to have a go on the wheel, make a memory tile and a little robin 🪶 Part of our collaboration with Barmby Moor Group of Churches thanks to a Do It For East Yorkshire community grant. Thank you, Lyn & Gerry ❤️
Our exhibition at St Catherine’s Barmby Moor launched last night! Thank you to everyone who came out on the 💨wildest☔️ night of the year to see it! The reaction was so positive and the conversations were 🔥⚡️✨ Open at St Catherine’s 10-4pm daily. SPREAD THE WORD! ❤️🩹❤️❤️🩹
