We've reached the middle of September, and before we know it, 2024 will be over. We can dwell on our coulda, shoulda, and wouldas with self-blame and guilt, or we can take a step back, be kind to ourselves, and refocus our efforts.
We're choosing the latter and aiming to get back on track with our hope to help build a compassionate community here in the Burdekin.
The key word here is "community."
While our BNC Team is considered 'workers,' we are also community members in our own right.
Compassionate Communities are not made up of services and their workers - they are made up of community members coming together to support each other and figure out what would benefit everyone when it comes to death, dying, and grief.
We want to hear from people who have ideas, thoughts, energy, and questions about anything related to death, dying, and grief. Your input is invaluable.
We know there are many people in our community who are helping others in this area. What do you see are the gaps? What can we be doing better as a community?
We have all experienced death and grief in our lives – each one of us can contribute to the conversations. Our shared experiences can help us understand and support each other better.
If this is something you have an interest in, please come along to:
WHAT: Compassionate Community Session
WHERE: Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre, 40 Chippendale Street, Ayr
WHEN: Thursday, 26th September, 5.30pm
Until next time,
The Team
Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre
