Last week the Scotland team attended the ‘Good Life Good Death Good
Grief’ event in Edinburgh which was brilliant. There was a mix of
presentations, drama, singing and yes ‘drinking’ to toast those who are
departed. The idea of the day was to inspire everyone to go back to their work
and home environments and have conversations about life, death and grief. I
visited the ‘One wild life room’ where I was interviewed to determine what I would
like to change to make my life more meaningful with the time I have left. Since
no one knows when they will die it might make sense to focus on certain
priorities. I am going to try and spin less plates and take more time to smell
the roses.
The Scotland team has reached its first 3 month mark of existence and so far we have made fairly good inroads to achieving our intended outcomes. We have set up an advisory group in Dundee, provided training for over a hundred staff, formed working partnerships and are beginning to just about feel as if we are actually doing some ‘work’, although this may never truly happen until we have successfully held our Scottish conference in 2015 where we can look back and see where we have been and what we have truly accomplished.
