The obituary notice of Christine LISTER-FORD

Dear Christine,
I am so grateful to be part of the family and culture that you and Jennie have established and dedicated yourselves to. Without you i would never have qualified and realised my full potential as a therapist and supervisor. Coming to the Northern Guild over 25 years ago was like finding a home I needed but didn't know existed.
Thank you for your insight and fierce intelligence, for being uncompromising and brave, for inspiring me and leaving such an amazing legacy.

With love and respect,
Liz Pearce

'Red Carnations'
Let us remember,
Let us mark,
The women who made us,
Shaped us,
Shared their strength,
Knowledge and determination,
To enable who we are today.

Women of vision,
Courage and inspiration.
Two sides of the same coin;
An immeasurable currency,
Invested with great return.
Birth given to countless,
With skill and dedication,
Not forgetting love.
Our tributes before you,
Blood red petals, grown from seeds.
Blooming perennial.

Sending love and peace to you as you move on through to the next part of the journey. Sending love and heartfelt wishes to Jennie and family x

So sorry to hear of your passing Christine, and sincere condolences to Jenny.

Whilst my time at the guild has passed I will remember you both and feel privileged that I was able to train with you.

Yalom talks of rippling, "concentric circles of influence that may affect others for years, even for generations". For myself (and many other students) your influence will be felt and shared with the clients we work with. A legacy that will affect the lives of many, for years to come.

Christine you were an inspiration to me. I am saddened and shocked by your passing. NGP will not be same without you . You and Jenny have impacted my life greatly and I am sure there are many more like me. You have helped me in the difficult times of my life. You will be missed. I am sending love and strength to Jenny.
