“‘The Thank You Book’ is a place for all that is precious and meaningful and funny and uplifting and lovely in your life. I have science on my side when I tell you that this is not just another notebook. We should have put a warning sticker on the cover – 'This notebook is good for your health’." -- Roisin Ingle]]> Iain White / Fennell Photography]]>
The Library was named after Thérèse Brady, Director of Postgraduate Training in Clinical Psychology at UCD who developed the Irish Hospice Foundation Bereavement Services in the late 1980s. On her death, Therese’s books on bereavement theory were donated to the Irish Hospice Foundation and the library was developed around this core collection.
