Navigating life after loss
An empty chair serves as a poignant reminder of those we've lost. It loudly proclaims ‘love was here’ and quietly whispers ‘love still is’.
An Empty Chair is a series of informal events located in Belfast, serving as a storytelling platform, and a safe space for those who have experienced loss. Loudly proclaiming ‘love was here’ and quietly whispering ‘love still is’.
Grief is often viewed as a taboo subject; we don’t talk about it, we don’t mention their names, and we often pretend that we’re okay when we’re barely holding it together. An Empty Chair aims to change the narrative for those navigating life after loss, creating a community where we can talk about our loved ones and openly admit when we’re struggling. Grief is simply love in a heavy overcoat, and love will always remain.
