There’s a particular kind of grief that often goes unnamed. It’s not the grief of losing someone we love or even the grief that accompanies a devastating diagnosis.

Jim Carrey once said: Grief is not just an emotion—it’s an unraveling, a space where something once lived but is now gone. It carves through you, leaving a hollow ache where love once resided.

In the beginning, it feels unbearable, like a wound that will never close. But over time, the raw edges begin to mend. The pain softens, but the imprint remains—a quiet reminder of what once was. The truth is, you never truly "move on." You move with it. The love you had does not disappear; it transforms. It lingers in the echoes of laughter, in the warmth of old memories, in the silent moments where you still reach for what is no longer there. And that’s okay.

Grief is not a burden to be hidden. It is not a weakness to be ashamed of. It is the deepest proof that love existed, that something beautiful once touched your life. So let yourself feel it. Let yourself mourn. Let yourself remember.

There is no timeline, no “right” way to grieve. Some days will be heavy, and some will feel lighter. Some moments will bring unexpected waves of sadness, while others will fill you with gratitude for the love you were lucky enough to experience.

Honor your grief, for it is sacred. It is a testament to the depth of your heart. And in time, through the pain, you will find healing—not because you have forgotten, but because you have learned how to carry both love and loss together.

Hollie Guard is a free mobile app that turns your mobile phone into a personal safety device. Named after, Hollie Gazzard, a 20yr old hairdresser from Gloucester who was murdered by her ex-partner in 2014.

Features.
- A simple shake or tap activates Hollie Guard.

- On activation, Hollie Guard will notify chosen trusted contacts with user location, audio and video evidence.

- Two modes:
1.Deterrent Mode.
Makes it clear to persons in your surrounding area that an Alert has been raised. Anyone who looks at the phone will see that GPS location is being monitored and audio/video evidence uploaded. Phone will display ‘alert raised’.

2.Stealth Mode.
Stealth mode activates a silent alert with no obvious signs of activation to keep the alert as discreet as possible. The phone will put a wallpaper up to look as though it’s on your home screen.

- Journey feature: Set your start & end destinations before setting off. Your emergency contacts will be notified once you arrive safely at your chosen destination. An alert will be automatically triggered if you don't arrive at your destination within the time parameters you've sent. Every 5 seconds the platform will update your precise location based on your speed & movement activity to identify where you are once an alert has been raised.

- Meeting feature: Set designated duration for a meeting & alert emergency contacts if you don’t mark yourself as safe before the time has lapsed. Once the timer expires an alert will be raised automatically, enabling your emergency contacts to pin-point where you are so they can call for help or request an emergency response.

- Reports feature: Users can quickly & easily record an incident with supporting photo evidence that is automatically categorised, time stamped and geo tagged then saved to the Hollie Guard server.

- Man down feature: Automatically detects if you have a sudden fall or have stopped moving for a period of time

💭 Is technology making grieving processes easier? Here's 4 ways technology may help us with grief.

💻 Virtual funerals
Online attendance at funerals is becoming increasingly popular. If a loved one lives in a different country or is too unwell to travel then joining virtually is a good alternative.

💛 Online groups
Social media is full of grief and support groups. These are great places to share experiences and receive advice from people going through similar emotions.

📱 Video calls
Video calling has enabled many people to speak to their dying loved one to say a final goodbye. Something they might not have been able to do in time without technology.

🤔 Grief bots (AI)
Now this may not be for everyone. AI scientists have have started to develop grief bots, so using data from a person’s life to create an avatar of that person, the bereaved can message and receive responses from their loved one.

Remember grief is different for everyone. You can find more information or support on our website: https://www.mariecurie.org.uk/help/support

I don't really feel like talking
I lost someone close to me
There are just some things
Your eyes cannot unsee

Excuse me if I am quiet
I don't have much to say
I haven't been the same
Not since that painful day

The world is too loud now
My heart cannot cope
It's broken, I'm afraid
And there is no antidote

So for now,
Home is where I'll stay
Attending to my heart
Safe and tucked away
