WHAT IS VLOG POD?

This is a place where you can watch other peoples stories and find out first hand how they coped when someone they love has died.

You can also contribute if you feel up to it. See below for how to create your own vlog.

Corrymeela Volunteers help with the Get together Project. These Volunteers work also side families who have bereaved. Please watch this video as they discuss their own bereavements. Eoghan talks about how its hard for males to discuss their grief so he found writing it down helped.
