This is an audio recording of a paper that was originally published in Dulwich Centre Newsletter, the precursor to this journal, in 1988. In 1998, it was republished in the book Introducing Narrative Therapy: A collection of practice-based writings. This groundbreaking paper introduces an alternative metaphor for working with those experiencing significant grief. Guided by the “saying hullo” metaphor, Michael White formulates and introduces questions to open up the possibility for persons to reclaim their relationship with a lost loved one.
Key words: grief, bereavement, re-membering, narrative therapy, narrative practice, Michael White
