Welcome to our gallery on artworks that reflect bereavement.
The Palliative Care Services sent out cards to people that have been affected by bereavement. They were handwritten cards and included information and resources to support people in their difficult moments after the loss of a beloved person. They were looking for new designs for their cards, and sent out an open invitation for creative responses to this theme. February 2021
