How do we make sense of heartache? Cathy Rentzenbrink and Dr Suzanne O?Sullivan will discuss learning to deal with heartache, grief and loss. They?ll explore how to cope with life at its most difficult and how that suffering may change us forever but we can emerge filled with hope.


Cathy Rentzenbrink is the author of a bestselling and stunning memoir called The Last Act of Love about the life and death of her brother. Cathy was still a teenager at the time and her happy family was torn apart by this unthinkable tragedy. In A Manual for Heartache she describes how she learnt to live with grief and loss and find joy in the world again.

      Andrew whatshisname's lawyer might find it useful as his client has just been arrested "over the alleged sharing of confidential material". The arrest of Mandelson to follow?

      That's the milquetoast triangulation that's delivered so much electoral success to the Lib Dems locally and nationally! 🤣

      Amazing. Now could you cut and paste an AI summary of the defence case for Andrew M-W?

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      I would like to understand this promise by the Greens in greater detail and how it applies locally? Presumably road/pavement upkeep and renewal is as important for cyclists and pedestrians as motorists? I am not aware of plans to build new roads locally but there has been plenty of money spent on converting roads into pedestrian only areas. On the face of it this feels a slightly empty statement, when applied at local level. I'd love to know the Greens stance in hiring out parks for private use (given impact on park environment), I'd also like to understand their stance on fireworks- I will look to see if I can find anything. I don't know if a manifesto exists under the documents section of Southwark Greens, but you can only access that bit by signing in- which is disappointing. If anyone has a manifesto that reflects local priorities- could they post a link?
