Andys Man Club has come to Walsall 🌟

16th February saw the opening of AMC Bloxwich, and we were visited by the Mayor of Walsall to mark the occasion. 16 brave men walked through the door, 6 of whom were attending an ANDYSMANCLUB session for the very first time. Some great shares and a good few laughs, each and every one of you should be proud of taking that first step.

A huge thank you to Angela at the Local Hub, the Mayor of Walsall and Staffordshire County Council for all their support, we're really looking to opening the doors again next week.

If you're considering coming, don't overthink it. We've all been there that first time so please know that there's no judgement. We're here to listen.

Grief is already heavy. SAD (seasonal affective disorder) can add to the weight—shorter days, bleak weather, quieter energy, and a low mood that makes grief feel lonelier and harder to carry alone.

It’s not weakness or failure, just two seasons of pain overlapping. Be gentle with yourself; healing can move slowly and still be real.

Grief is like an iceberg because most of it is hidden.

Above the surface is what people see:
A few tears, returning to work, making dinner, and basically functioning as far as anyone else can tell.

Below the surface: Waves of sadness that come out of nowhere, guilt, anger, numbness, relief, confusion — sometimes all in one day all at once.
That can be heavy, deep, and mostly invisible to everyone else.

The real weight of grief lives underwater — quiet, constant, and much bigger than it looks. Anger is a very common part of grief, it's the nervous system’s way of saying “This wasn’t supposed to happen.” You might feel angry at doctors, systems, or circumstances, perhaps at other people who “don’t get it”. You might even feel angry with the person who died (especially if things were unresolved). None of that makes you a bad person.

Anger can actually be protective. Sadness says “I’m hurt” Anger says “This mattered and its not okay".

Not judging the anger, but giving it safe outlets can help: Talking honestly with someone who won’t try to fix it, writing your thoughts down, physical release i.e walking or exercising, creative expression through art or poetry.

Grief can be messy, sharp, and loud. That doesn’t mean you’re grieving wrong — it means you’re grieving honestly.
