If you’re finding things difficult, reaching out for a conversation can be a powerful first step.

Talking about how we feel isn’t always easy, but even a simple chat can offer comfort, connection and support - especially on days when things feel heavier than usual.

This Time to Talk Day, we’re joining Mind in encouraging gentle, honest conversations about mental health. Checking in with ourselves, and with the people around us, can make a real difference - no matter how small the moment may seem.

When we talk about the person we lost, it’s not for sympathy.
It’s because remembering them is the only way we still get to love them out loud.

Some people think sharing memories means we are “stuck.”
But truthfully…it’s how we keep their presence woven into the world.
It’s how we honor the life that mattered.
It’s how we refuse to let their story fade in silence.

We don’t post because we want people to feel sorry for us
We post because their name deserves to be spoken.
Their life deserves to be remembered.
And our hearts deserve a place to put the love that didn’t disappear when they did. 💔
