The greatest help you can give a grieving loved one is to park your own emotional needs for the moment, and to let the griever be heard.

Rather than addressing how you feel, you might think you need to be strong by numbing your emotions.

For the past four nights, I’ve been absorbed by the ITV adaptation of Anne Williams’ story to find the truth after her son died.

Grief is usually associated with the experience of loss, but anticipatory grief can start as soon as you become aware that death is close.

Some of us internalise feelings, leaving us unable to speak of what we are experiencing.

Just three days off for a family death is an anomaly and we’d like to ask for your help to have this amended.

In my mind, I’ve kept reminding myself it’s just another day without her but my heart feels differently.

As a country, we’re continuing to experience uncertainty over the loss of our normal life, and adapting to a ‘new normal.’

Possibly one of the biggest blows of grief is losing friends or family, the ones you thought would show up but didn’t.
