Story

My sister Chan took her own life on August 24th 2015 she was beautiful inside and out.  I'm raising money in memory of her birthday which is on June 9th for the Charity TAL (Talking About Loss)

Losing Chan devastated us and changed our lives forever.  We'll never get over her not being here, we just learn to live along side the big empty hole she has left behind.  Grief is unique to everyone.  TAL (Talking About Loss) allows you to be among a supportive group of people. Grief can be so debilitating you don't even want to step out of your front door.  TAL gives people a safe space to talk.  They have councellors on hand if needed and show people different skills to allow their mind to rest and their body to relax.

About the charity

Talking about Loss

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1189222
This group aims to help people who are affected by bereavement or loss, whether that is a family member, friend, job or self-confidence. TAL was set up by East Yorkshire woman, Jacqueline Gunn, who felt she needed somewhere to turn to when her father died, just to have a chat with like-minded people. As a result, Jacqueline set up pop-up wellbeing cafes in East and North Yorkshire and now is planning to launch the TAL Community Hub in the centre of Market Weighton. This consists of two buildings, an information centre (pictured) with rooms for hire, and a Wellness Barn, which will offer a multi-purpose space for activities and workshops. A team of specialists will also be available to help people with health and wellbeing issues. As preparations to refurbish the buildings are underway, the work is being funded by a legacy but the Hub needs to be sustainable and, as we are starting from scratch, everything needs to be bought.
