Grief Rambles – A gentle walk for those navigating loss

Grief can feel isolating, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Grief Rambles is a gentle, informal walk designed for those experiencing loss, whether recent or long ago. There’s no pressure to share or explain; just a space to be outside, move, and connect with others who understand.

We’ll walk at a steady, relaxed pace through Edinburgh’s beautiful surroundings, pausing when needed and letting the conversation (or companionable silence) unfold naturally.

• Anyone processing grief, no matter the stage or circumstance.
• Those who find comfort in walking, nature, or quiet companionship.
• People looking for a low-pressure, free-form way to connect with others who “get it.”

• A small group (6-8 people) for a more personal experience.
• A low-key, welcoming atmosphere—whether you want to chat, listen, or just walk.
• A pre-planned route through a scenic part of Edinburgh.
• The option to grab a coffee or tea afterward for those who’d like to stay a little longer.

• Meeting Point: Mercat Cross Statue - Parliament Square - Grounds of St Giles Cathedral
• Duration: Approximately 60-90 mins
• What to Bring: Comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and an open heart.
• Rain or Shine

This is a free event, but spaces are limited, so please RSVP if you’d like to join.

We walk together, with no rush, no rules, just a shared understanding.
