Showing support in the darkest hour
The exhibit, a partnership between award-winning photographer Colin Gray and the Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care (SPPC), will run between May 9 and 15 as part of Death Awareness Week Scotland.
Based on interviews by SPPC, the exhibition features a series of photo portraits and wisdom from people who have cared for someone who is dying or has been bereaved.

Mark Hazelwood, chief executive of SPPC said: “We all know that ‘it takes a village’ to raise a child, but what is less well recognised that it also ‘takes a village’ to support someone who is dying, and their family.”
