Lou Hynes
Lou Hynes, aka The Grief Guru is here to make the world a more grief-literate place. Having lost her husband Pete to meningitis in December 2022, Lou has turned her pain into her purpose, empowering and educating both individuals and businesses about loss, bereavement and grief. Her straight talking approach to grief and how we handle it is unique within the grief space, as she believes that if we are all less awkward and enabled to have those challenging conversations, less people will feel isolated and won't have to carry the heavy burden of grief alone.
You can reach out to Lou if you'd like your workplace to be more grief literate and chat about her support packages, so that bereavement isn't just a tick box exercise.
Lou lives in Leeds with her 3 children, has featured on the BBC and is soon to become a published author.
