The Bay Health Festivals have one very simple aim: to create spaces and opportunities for people to have conversations – easy or difficult – with family, friends, neighbours, and with ourselves. We want these conversations to help us make simple changes that will have a big effect: rediscovering the art of living well. https://www.thebayhealthfestivals.org.uk/

Love has its Scars
At the end of January 2020 Covid 19 arrived on our shores. It took us by surprise, even though we knew that we were long overdue a pandemic. Only 3 years ago, and yet it seems a long way away. But perhaps, like the death of a loved one, moments that seem a long way away suddenly become immediate once more, as if they have just happened That is why acts of remembrance are so important, they give us a framework.
When your loved one dies of Covid 19 and you cannot grieve as normal, what do you do? When that loved one is a frontline worker and a well known figure, what challenges does that present? In April 2020, Simon Guest, radiographer at Furness General Hospital died of Covid 19 and it made the news. In this thoughtful and poignant interview, his widow Nicky Guest speaks of her journey since that fateful day and how she has found a path of healing. She offers her story to encourage others to share theirs.
