The Irish Wake
Rev Alan gave a talk at St Andrew's recently, exploring Irish customs around death and dying. He spoke about what we can learn from the Irish about the grieving process and what we might feel is a good death.
The talk is available in text and audio format on the St Andrew's website here: 'The Irish Wake - how the Irish teach us to live, love and die'
