Today marks the first day of National Grief Awareness week 2025, this post from All on the Board earlier today really stood out 👏🏻

When we’re grieving it’s hard to believe that we will get through it, but if we take our time we will find a way. However lonely it feels please know you are not alone.

'Sometimes grief is a friend you wish you didnt know, but that you have to spend time with, because love brought them along to the party. And the party was worth it'.

This week we have enjoyed reading If You Listen by Charlotte Zolotow. In this story, a mother comforts her young daughter whose father is no longer with them. It goes on to explain that even though a loved one is no longer physically with us, their love is still around us and can be felt in various ways (one of us may have had a tear or 2 in our eye)! This book was first published in 1980, if you've read this book we'd love to know your thoughts....would you recommend it, do you think the root of the story is comforting? ❤️
