Patchwork Of Memories
Cruse and National Museum of Wales:
In 2020 Amgueddfa Cymru and Cruse Bereavement Support Cymru came together to support people across the country through their grief and create a lasting memorial full of memories to those lost during the time of Covid-19. It involved creating a square patch containing a memory of a loved one, in which ever way people chose, in whatever words or images they liked. Each patch created demonstrated a visual display of lasting memories of someone they loved who had died, created in unprecedented times. 50+ patches were sent to the Museum and have been carefully sewn together to form a Patchwork of Memories.
Cruse Bereavement Support Days are held in partnership with National Museum of Wales in St Fagans, for children, young people and their family's experiencing grief and loss. There is specialist support from Cruse staff and volunteers along with art and craft activities, Virtual Reality experiences, which are light-hearted, allowing people attending the chance to make and create things in memory of their loved ones that can be taken home with them and or captured and stored into a virtual memory box.
