Don't Mention The Coal Scuttle

Tuesday 3 November, 10.30am

St John’s Episcopal Church, Perth

£20.00 (includes a copy of the book and lunch)

In a special author event, being organised by Faith In Older People, writers Alison Pringle & Graeme Pagan will lead a discussion about bereavement based on their book Don't Mention The Coal Scuttle, a compilation from over 50 different and real experiences of those facing the death of a husband, a wife, a partner, a soul mate, including anecdotes, reminiscences and personal experiences.

Alison and Graeme first met in Oban over 50 years ago. A chance meeting on a bus 38 years after they had last seen each other, five years after the death of Alison's husband and three weeks after the death of Graeme's wife, led to the realisation that sharing what that is really like could be very helpful in facing what is undoubtedly one of life's worst happenings.

It has been said that somehow you can carry on in life even without your loved one if you can talk, laugh and cry. This book has several examples of that.
