January can feel like a long month with its short days and long nights.
You might have heard the third Monday of January described as 'Blue Monday' but we love the Samaritans idea of 'Brew Monday'. Having a chance to share a cuppa and connect with someone we trust can make such a difference to our mood.

Who could you share a drink and a conversation with this week?

It can be feel difficult to know what to say to someone who has been bereaved. Sometimes we avoid mentioning the person they have lost because we don’t want to remind them of their grief. But the truth is, they haven’t forgotten that person and talking about them could help.
Willows is here to help if you would like to find out more about counselling and how we could support you on your journey of grief https://www.willowscounselling.org.uk/counselling/

This week is Grief Awareness Week.
Grief can feel overwhelming at times. If someone you love has died, you may have felt a pressure to appear to be ‘back to normal’ before you felt ready. It is good to remember that there is no set timeline for grief. It is an individual journey for each of us. Willows are here to help if you would like to find out more about counselling and how we could support you on your journey of grief.
