The Sue Ryder Grief Kind Garden provides a safe and peaceful sanctuary to sit within the beauty of nature and take a moment of quiet reflection. Grief can take many forms and affect those who have lost, or are about to lose someone, or a person themselves coming to terms with a life-limiting illness. Plants carefully chosen for their sensory properties will be layered throughout the garden to connect people with the space.
The garden takes inspiration from its eventual location in Bedford and the area’s role in the production of lace, with elements of lacemaking reflected in the design.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
As the leading bereavement charity in the UK, Sue Ryder supports people through the most difficult times of their lives. It aims to make sure everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can access the support they need. It provides free, expert care to those affected by life-changing illnesses, so that no one has to face dying or grief alone.
Its Grief Kind campaign is a national movement of kindness that aims to give people the tools, knowledge and confidence to support one another through grief.
The garden will be relocated in its entirety to Sue Ryder’s St John’s Hospice in Bedford, where it will provide a dedicated space for grieving.
Not only will the garden benefit inpatients who are at the end of their lives, but will also be a Grief Kind place of solace and reflection for their loved ones, as well as welcoming visitors from the local community. It is designed to be fully accessible to wheelchairs and hospital beds.
