This week is Grief Awareness Week 💜

At some point in our lives, we will all be impacted by grief. And yet, it's something so many people don't talk about or have misconceptions of.

We wanted to start Grief Awareness Week by sharing some reminders- are there any you would add to this list?

If you need support, you're not alone

We shared our new animation ‘Room for an elephant’ with our group for young people and asked them what people did that helped them in the grief (written in blue) and what didn’t help (written in red).

Our next online support group for parents bereaved of a pre-teen or teenager (10-19 years) to su***de is on Monday 1 December, 7-8.30pm

A previous attendee felt "Really grateful that this group was created. We all felt that we have different needs to parents who’ve lost an older adult child."
