Thanks, @BPSWestMids for publishing this short summary on Sense of Presence and Bonds Theory The article introduces my research in this area and is relevant for those working with death and bereavement.
And finally... 'Experiencing the presence of someone who has died: A Continuing Bonds Theory perspective' by the spectacular @helenhewson6331 🫂, exploring sensory and quasi-sensory experiences of the deceased and applying a continuing bonds perspective.

The sense of place and continuity offered by hospices supports dignity at the end of life whilst facilitating positive bereavement outcomes and continued bonds #saveourhospices #palliativecare #writetoyourmp
As the new Parliament sits for the first time, hospices are under threat. As costs surge and funding stagnates, the sector faces the worst financial crisis it's seen in 20 years. It's critical that MPs know what needs to change. Write to your MP now 👇

Hi @wesstreeting. You want to recruit 8,500 #mentalhealth professionals for better, faster access to help. At the @dcopuk @BPSOfficial conf. some counselling psychologists said they paid £35k+ to train. That’s prohibitive. Can we talk about good, accessible training paths?

🕊️ 🇯🇵The concept of Windphones originates in Japan, where the first phone was created by Itaru Sasaki as a way to cope with the loss of his cousin. 💫The phone was later used by over 15,000 mourners following the 2011 Tohuko earthquake and Tsunami.

📞 💫When talking through the wind phone the dialogue we have is imagined as interactive. This can offer a form of emotional release, a sense of connection and an opportunity so say things we felt unable to say at the end of their life.

to address their absent presence in our lives. ♥️To support the local community, Mary Stevens Hospice are the first in the UK to install a community Windphone. The Windphone reimagines communication by providing a way for the living to feel heard by the dead.
