Let’s Talk About Marriage will help couples invest in their marriage relationship together. It is written and presented by Revd Jim Cheshire and his wife Diane who have been married for over 20 years and have two teenage children. Jim and Diane don’t claim to be experts, nor to have the perfect marriage, but they share valuable insights inspired by their own experiences and the wisdom of others who have written on the subject. The videos can be watched by a couple at home or in a group setting in conjunction with a local church.

Loss

‘Let’s Talk About Loss’ comprises three sessions and is accompanied by a Leaders’ Guide.

  2. Bereavement and Recovery
  3. Rituals, Untimely Deaths and Facing Death with Faith

Let’s Talk About Loss is written and presented by Revd Karen Salmon who was herself bereaved suddenly after just five years of marriage. Due to the sensitive nature of the subject, the course is only suitable for those who have experienced bereavement more than three months before and should only be run in a group setting with at least one facilitator. Let’s Talk About Loss is based on material from the Church Pastoral Aid Society who have kindly given permission for its use.

These videos are not publicly available. If you are interested in running the course for a group please email the diocesan communications officer.
