Easter can be a comforting time for some, and a painful reminder of loss for others. If you’re finding this season difficult, you’re not alone. 💜

Here are a few gentle ways to take care of yourself this Easter:
• Allow yourself to feel whatever comes up - there’s no right or wrong way to grieve.
• Mark the moment in your own way, whether that’s lighting a candle, visiting a special place, or quietly remembering.
• Take things at your own pace - it’s okay to change traditions or step back if you need to.
• Reach out for support if it feels helpful.

If you’d like to speak to someone outside your immediate circle, these organisations offer trusted support:

👉 Cruse Bereavement Support: https://www.cruse.org.uk/get-support/

From all of us at James Scott, we’re thinking of everyone in our community this Easter.
