Glasgow Dares to Discuss

On Friday 17 May staff from the Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice set up a stall in the main thoroughfare of Silverburn Shopping Centre in Glasgow, hoping to encourage passers-by to talk about death, dying and bereavement and share their wisdom.

48 people participated in conversations; many more watched from afar. While some of the 48 readily admitted their story as a patient, or a family member, many more simply spoke about their own life experiences.

Asking people “what advice would you give….” Or “what helped you…..” or “what do you think about….” encouraged rich life experiences to be shared. As the day wore on, the discussions range in breadth and depth, and by the end of the day the white-board was full of shared wisdom.
