Happy Heavenly Birthday Daddy 🎉🥳🎂 Today, you would be 64 🥹, its a bitter sweet time because this is your 2nd birthday reunited with mommy, so I know you’re happy to spend the day with your wife! As time passes, I wish I could spend another birthday with you. I wish I could talk to you, take you to the movies, go eat at thumbs up, and just get life advice 🥹 I wish I would have valued the time we had left with you rather than traveling for work 🥹, hindsight is crazy…. I would have given my whole career up just for more time with you lol (heck you only wanted me to be an entrepreneur anyway, even though I was doing so well but you told me I was capped at low 6 figures there, you alway saw more & for that im thankful because losing you pushed me to want more 🙌🏾🥹). If that season in my life taught me anything, it taught me to love the moments with my family over any and everything 😘. Here we are, 8 years of not being with you on your birthday, but somehow, your life just keeps on teaching me lessons 💕 I pray your birthday in heaven is full of love! ♥️ Me and @sterlinchase will continue to love you here on earth and miss you all at the same time! Thank you for being a good father, showing me consistent and tough love lol, even when it was hard. You are the epitome of all the greatness that a man can have and I pray every day I’m instilling a little bit more of you in your grandson! I love you to the moon and back daddy! Happy Heavenly 64th birthday 🎉🎂😇👼🏽

Navigating Mother’s Day Grief Mother’s Day—a day that carries both joy and sorrow. For many, it’s a time to celebrate the incredible women who have shaped our lives, showering them with love, flowers, and heartfelt cards. But for others, it’s a poignant reminder of loss—the empty chair at the table, the phone that remains silent, then there’s the inability to become a mother. This year on Mother’s Day, while we explore the complex emotions tied to Mother’s Day: the grief of missing a beloved mother (whether deceased or absent or lost to dementia) and the ache of unfulfilled dreams of motherhood let’s widen our circle of compassion. Reach out to those who grieve—the friend who lost her mother, the sister who longs for a child. Share stories, lend a listening ear, and acknowledge their pain. Sometimes, the greatest gift is simply saying, “I see you and I hear your pain.” For more ways in which we can navigate Mother’s Day and hold space for both joy and grief, read our latest blog available now on our website.
Noticed this excellent review of Grief, Your Way: Living With Loss by Dr Gabriel Constans 🕊️ One of the many things I liked about this book - it is an easy read when you're feeling low, Gabriel's writing has a nice gentle tone, I found his book very helpful too.

🕊 When we lose someone we love, 𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫. Grief presents itself in many ways, and it can be very difficult trying to support someone through their grief. Talking after losing a loved one can seem daunting, especially at first. Just keep reminding them that you are there whenever they are ready. Often being alone is what is needed to process feelings after a death. When someone is ready to talk, encourage speaking of the lost loved one even if it’s upsetting. Remember, words aren’t always needed and sometimes it just helps to be there with the bereaved. Our bereavement counselors provide a multitude of support options when someone we love passes, and with every family member we are privileged to look after, we offer our full support as you move through your grief. Follow the link in our bio to see an introduction to our bereavement services, and please do contact us with any questions or queries you may have. 🕊 #dyingmatters2024 #dyingmattersweek #bereavement #talkaboutdying #HospiceUK #funeraldirectors #awareness #grief
Today, the world feels heavier, burdened by the loss of our beloved Judy. We rescued him, a beacon of hope amidst despair, from the harsh streets, only to witness him fall victim to a cruel twist of fate. Our hearts shattered as Judy’s fragile body bore the brunt of a callous driver’s haste, leaving him with broken legs and shattered dreams. Despite our desperate pleas for help, the hands of time mercilessly ticked away, and we found ourselves unable to gather the funds needed to save him. Now, as tears cascade down our cheeks like raindrops on a solemn night, we bid farewell to our cherished companion. Judy’s pain has ceased, but ours lingers, a constant reminder of love unfulfilled and dreams left unspoken. Rest in peace, dear Judy, may your spirit soar freely in the boundless skies above, where no pain can ever reach you again. #petloss #rainbowbridge #grief #petlosssupport #petmemorial #pawprintsonmyheart #petlossofinstagram #griefandloss #love #dogsofinstagram #griefjourney #petdeath #petgrief #healing #petlosshurts #petlossgrief #petbereavement #loss #memorial #petsofinstagram #griefrecovery #catsofinstagram #childloss #pets #mansbestfriend #catloss #griefsupport #bereavement #losingapet #dogs
I wrote this last night, which marked 5 years since Ivy's last full day with us. The memories of that day come back, echoing stronger with each passing year. Some of those memories are understandably hard but others are beautiful in their own way. Remembering you on this 10th May by wearing white for Ivy.

I did something last week I've not done before... I spoke from the heart about "resilience"... Resilience is something that a lot of people seem to think I have, at yet so often in life the reality is that often inside we feel that we are merely surviving in a situation that we never wanted. The amazing responses from the audience gave me added confidence in the five-step method I've created for Growing Life Around Grief... and I can't wait to share it with people a week today. My FREE 30-minute Finding Rainbows after Loss webinar is taking place on Monday 25 September 2023 at 8pm and the link to book is in my bio. Please let me know when you have signed up and let me know if you have any questions or comments. I can't wait to share with you the most challenging moments of my widowhood and why an atheist like me is so passionate about this FAITH model! #WidowedAndYoung #GriefAndLoss #WidowSupport #GriefSupport #MilspoBN #GriefJourney #WidowsOfInstagram #Widowhood #Widow #Grief #WidowLife #ADHDWomen #PostTraumaticGrowth #YoungWidow #LifeAfterLoss #Widows #DeathAndDying #GriefRecovery #WidowLife #Widowed #Grieving #WidowsHelpingWidows #Loss #Love #WidowMaker #GriefSucks #BereavedMother #WidowhoodSisterhood #Bereavement #RainbowHunting

It is important to find the right kind of therapy for you - and for some people a picture paints a thousand words. Art Therapy is a type of psychotherapy that offers a way to express emotions and / or experiences that may not be easily expressed in words. It is less about creating a finished piece of art but more about the healing that takes place through the process of making art. Art Therapy has identified a range of physical and mental health benefits for people experiencing mental health issues. Have you ever used Art Therapy or would you consider using art as therapy? - Follow the YouTube link in our bio to listen to our episode 'It takes a village to support a widower', which talks about using Art Therapy for grief.

I offer people the opportunity, at no financial cost, to discuss “My Funeral Wishes”. This gives someone the chance to discuss their funeral wishes without the cost of a prepaid funeral plan. People find this alleviates some anxieties, empowers them to express their wishes and helps those that will be left to plan their funeral after death. The structured document guides someone through all the elements of a funeral and allows them to record their wishes on paper which can be left for their family. Not every section has to be completed but it covers everything from burial or cremation to flowers, music, readings and even encourages people to think about whether they would want their family to view them after death. I have some brilliant stories of funerals I have conducted where the person has planned their funeral ahead of death and found it a very positive experience and given them exactly what they wished. This week is Dying Matters Awareness week- encouraging us all to talk and think about dying and reframe the way we think of it. #dyingmatters #thewaywetalkaboutdyingmatters #dyingmattersawarenessweek #morethanajob #lifechoices #career #legislation #funerals #funeral #funeralservice #funeralservices #farewell #funeraldirector #myfuneralwishes #attentiontodetail #personalised #individual #personalservice #grief #griefandloss #bereavement #cremation #burial #coffin #hearse #death #celebrationoflife #newcastleupontyne #tyneandwear #supportlocalbusiness
When someone is grieving it can be really helpful for them to just talk, that could be about their feelings, worries or just about their memories of the person. Listening and feeling you have been listened to is so powerful. Have you experienced the feeling of really being heard? Wishing you a peaceful and restful weekend. #dyingmatters #dyingmattersawarenessweek #dying #death #grief #griefawarenessweek #bereaved #bereavement

Today I sat with a hospice patient and her spouse. They have been married over 35 years. He looked me in the eyes and said, “It wasn’t supposed to be this way. We had different plans. Now I am a prisoner in my own home. She’s not supposed to go before me.” The tears streamed down his face. He’s in disbelief, overwhelmed and grieving. I looked into his eyes as he mourns the process of losing his wife. My heart cracked 💔 What do I say? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. We held moments of silence. It felt like an eternity. He thanked me for listening, gave me hug. I left their home with my heart torn open. Every moment I breathe is precious. My heart is tender, and I am grateful for my life. With Love ❤️ Con mucho amor ❤️ #aging #dying #griefsupport #bereavement #bereaved
Ok now something I don’t think you know. Your mom asked for something for herself this morning, or last night, I can’t remember. She asked in a way that people who don’t hear ask. I don’t think she l believed I’d hear. I did. So here’s for the Mothers grieving this Mother’s Day for their lost children. Repost from @thegrievingmoms • It’s a heavy weight to bear, grieving mothers cry alone, plagued by thoughts of responsibility for our child’s death. As mothers, we’re programmed to protect our children, and when we couldn’t, it’s natural to feel like we’ve failed. But know that you’re not alone, and there’s no shame in asking for help or seeking support. Together, as a community of grieving mothers, we can navigate this painful journey and find solace in the memories of our beautiful children. #grievingmothers #togetherasone #findsolacetogether #togetherweheal #griefsupport #loss #bereavement #griefjourney #rememberinglovedones #selfcare #supportgroup #mentalhealth #healing #childloss #griefawareness #lossofadaughter #loss #takeabreath #mourning #bereavement #hope #timedoesnothealyourgrief #brokenheart #keeppushing #griefhurts #keeppushing #brokenhearted #lovedones

💜 If you're aware of a parent who has experienced a loss, don't ignore them. Offering comfort and saying "I'm sorry" can make a big difference. Though individuals will eventually find ways to navigate the situation, it will have a lasting impact on them. Throughout the journey of grief the presence of loved ones, friends, and colleagues is the most effective support for parents. ❤️ Find out more using the link in our bio. #griefsupport #bereavement #griefawarenes

I signed up for a “tasting event” at this restaurant named “Big Nate’s Family Barbeque” that I just happened to find on Eventbrite. Of course, the name intrigued me since some of Nathan’s friends actually called him Big Nate because of his size, and he also loved to barbeque. His favorite thing to grill was London Broil, which he did almost every weekend for quite a while. Rick and I were driving to this event on April 4, 2024, and passed by another restaurant named “Bird Call.” I remarked what a strange name for a restaurant that was and wondered what kind of food they serve. Rick made his signature dove call at the stoplight and we just laughed. A few nights later, I was lying in bed and could hear the birds in our backyard. I told Rick I was listening to them as I fell asleep — their bird calls. I feel like these are synchronicities for the little bird that came to our yard and interacted first with Eric and then with me a few weeks later on April 28. (See below post.) There’s another synchronicity in that date as well since Nathan was 28 when he transitioned. This sticker has an “error” in that it says “BBO” instead of “BBQ,” but I shared that on my Alphabet Anatomy page. 😉 Synchronicities are all around us when we have the vision to see them. ❤️❤️❤️ #synchronicities #griefjourney #griefsupport #obstacles #signsfromspirit #bereavement #bereavedmother #bereavedparents #theyarealwayswithus
I am so proud to be collaborating with @kingsmaternity to host this webinar for Black Baby Loss Awareness Week 🫶🏾 Pregnancy loss or the death of a baby is an emotionally painful time that many of parents do not anticipate happening. Being thrown into this trauma can leave them feeling alone and unsure of where to access support in the immediate and long-term grief journey. We hope this webinar helps to share what support is available, who offers this support and how to access it. I midwife_alicia will be hosting the session and the agenda is as follows: 🤎 Laura Bridle @lauramidwifeb - Midwife and Toyin Adeyinka - Expert by experience coordinator: What is a maternal mental health service and what is peer support? 🤎Karen Njuguna - Midwife: Role of the bereavement midwife 🤎Dr. Danielle Jackson - Principal Clinical Psychologist and Dr. Ukwuori Kalu - Principal Clinical Psychologist : Mental health support and baby loss 🤎Panel ’The Mental Health Impact Baby Loss in Black Communities’: Nyingi Banigo @blackbirthingexperiences - Trainee Clinical Psychologist, Illiyin Morrison @mixing.up.motherhood - Specialist Birth Debrief Midwife and Celine Walters @theonsidemidwife - Midwife We look forward to you joining us - the eventbrite link is in the @blackbabylossawareness bio, please register via Teams when you access the registration link too 🙏🏾 Alicia 🤎 midwife_alicia #blackbabylossawarenessweek #blackbabylossawareness #babyloss #infantloss #pregnancyloss #miscarriage #stillbirth #ectopicpregnancy #molarpregnancy #earlymiscarriage #latemiscarriage #chemicalpregnancy #ivf #infertility #neonatalloss #childloss #bblaw #pregnancy #pregnant #baby #infant #pregnancy #bereavement #loss #grief #stimga #mother #father #family #parent
I have a feeling my son is attempting to pull together Alphabet Anatomy and my other book, so I’m sharing here, and hope you don’t mind. ❤ I know it’s been so long since I posted. I signed up for a “tasting event” on April 4, 2024, at this restaurant named “Big Nate’s Family Barbeque” that I just happened to find on Eventbrite. Of course, the name intrigued me since some of Nathan’s friends actually called him Big Nate because of his size, and he also loved to barbeque, starting at a very young age. His favorite thing to grill was London Broil, which he did almost every weekend for quite a while. We got this sticker at the event and my husband noticed the “error” right away. It says “BBO” instead of “BBQ.” He and the event host laughed about it and joked that it could be worth more money because of this. A few days later, while sitting under our gazebo, staring directly at our barbeque grill and thinking of Nathan, I thought about the letters Q and O, and related them to how Nathan was and how he wants me to be. “Q is real quiet curled up like a ball. His tongue hangs to the right and he won’t speak at all. Q - Quiet.” Nathan was never quiet. He spoke his mind and didn’t care what others thought. He was never afraid to get up in front of a crowd either. I think he wants me to speak out too and to speak my mind about things that really matter in this world..., because Nathan was passionate about that. “O starts at the top traveling ‘round every day, and he never lets obstacles get in his way. O - Obstacles” Losing my son’s physical presence has been the most ominous obstacle I could ever imagine. But I can’t let it get in my way or hold me back, ever — nor any other obstacles I face. I know that’s not what Nathan would want me to do. ❤❤❤ #obstacles #signsfromspirit #bereavement #bereavedmother #bereavedparents #theyarealwayswithus

There’s nothing wrong with you for not feeling full of joy at family occasions when grieving. There’s also nothing wrong with you if you do feel joyful. Grief - common to all humans. Your experience of grief - unique to you. There’s no right or wrongs. No shoulds or shouldn’t. Through away rules, and expectations and consider identifying guilt as false. Be kind to yourself.

Super-tough day. It's my 31st wedding anniversary. The day my late father gave me away to his future son-in-law, entrusting he would be her life partner through thick and thin. And my husband has been that and more, I'm so grateful ❤️. I'll always remember the tears in Dad's eyes, brimming with love and prayers for my future well-being. ❤️ And yes, I got married on my parent's 28th wedding anniversary. And it was Mother's Day. So many dear family members that were with us on my wedding day have departed. The say the "firsts" of special days are the hardest ones to get through. Ain't that the truth. Drop a ❤️ or a comment below if you can relate, or simply want to share your "first" that was hard to get through. Hugs and love going out to anyone needing them today. xo ❤️ #grief #griefsupport #griefjourney #bereavement #seniorsgriefcircle

Sorry I haven’t been around in a while. It’s been a hard year. My mother passed away on April 12th of Multiple Myeloma. I was able to spend 18 nights in the hospital with her- which was incredibly painful but also so wonderful. I loved her so much. It’s weird how grief can trick your brain into forgetting that it even happened - but then each time you remember, grief hijacks you like a tornado. I have been leaning into grief. Spending time crying, listening to old voicemails, looking at old photographs, and painting her. Before she died, she told me she would visit me as a bird. So that’s what this painting is about. My beautiful mother. I miss her so much. Now I’m crying again. #grief #loss #mother #acrylicpainting #diosa #birds #death #bereavement #austinartist #atxartist #arttherapy #artistsoninstagram #popsurrealism #hummingbird #finch #crow #sparrow #cardinal #birdsofinstagram

Grief doesn’t require an immediate response or resolution. You don’t have to grieve all at once. You can grieve in chunks. It’s big and massive. Allow yourself the grace to break it down into manageable pieces. Grief does ask to be recognized and acknowledged. It asks for space to be felt and understood, without the pressure of a timeline.
After the death of a loved one, adults often expect their kids to grieve like grownups. Understanding how children and youth experience grief differently can help them feel better supported. Join us Thursday, May 9 at 6:30 p.m. to explore grief in children and teens. There is no cost to join. Register now at bit.ly/HNBereavementWorkshops

The dying process is unique to everyone, but there are a few things that happen to almost all of us in the last days of life, that are just a normal part of dying. @HospiceUK shares information on what signs you might see when someone is dying. Click the link in our bio for more information
is the author of It's Goodbye, It’s See You Later ― The Best Is Yet To Come. In this life no one is promised tomorrow and we often leave or are left wishing we had just five more minutes. This makes grief one of society’s most misunderstood and profoundly difficult experiences that cannot be resolved by closure, but by a slow measure of acceptance that only the passage of time and words of comfort can provide.

"We grow around our grief". 💔 Yesterday our SSWs attended training by @the_blue-cross on supporting cared for children with pet loss. 🐶 It was a really useful session as many of our young people's birth and foster families have pets. Children and young people can become very attached to pets for a variety of reasons.🐈 If a pet is lost (through death or separation), this may trigger a number of different emotions. We learnt about how to support our foster parents in creating safe spaces for children to come to terms with pet loss. Thank you Blue Cross! 🐀 #bluecross #petloss #trainingnottingham #fosteringuk #fostercareuk #fosteringnottingham #fosteringservices #petschangelives #bereavement #fosterparenting #socialworkuk

Finally it feels like the summer is here, and after bidding farewell to a big Rotherham United fan at lunchtime today, I took a stroll around the grounds at Rotherham Crematorium. The sun shining on the gardens, and the warmth that has finally arrived, made it a lovely break in my day. Let's hope it stays with us for the coming months 😎 #cremation #journeyoflife #celebrant #funeral #funeralcelebrant #oakcelebrantservices #bereavement #celebrantlife #rotherham #environment #nature #blessed

Andrew Jordan met Jesus face to face on May 9, 2023. “We miss you more than words can express…Andrew loved giving his sisters a hard time, he said that “was a big brothers job!” Andrew loved history, gaming and spending time with family and friends. He enjoyed talking with elders because he said “you always learn something.” He wanted to see and explore the world. We miss him with every breath we take and not a day goes by that we don’t talk about him. It’s not goodbye, its I’ll see you later son…..” Love, Mom (Misty Woytek) We can’t wait for our reunion in Heaven. Until then… Andrew Jordan, you are loved and never forgotten.

Loss and grief are difficult yet natural aspects of life, but you don’t have to face it alone. Help in processing, understanding and navigating grief can be invaluable. In As Long as You Need: Permission to Grieve, J.S. Park draws from his own experience as a hospital chaplain to provide useful insight and perspective. In As Long As You Need, J.S. Park offers an honest and unrushed engagement with grief, decoding four types of grieving—spiritual, mental, physical, and relational—and offering compassionate self-care and soul-care along the way. (Publisher) “A heartfelt invitation for grieving readers...An excellent resource for those working their way through loss.” – Publishers Weekly Starred Review New, April 2024; paperback, 240 pages: $19.99 #grief #griefjourney #griefandloss #bereavement #selfhelp #bookrecommendations @jspark3000

It can be difficult to know what to say to someone who is grieving. Often it is better to say something, and to listen, rather than worry too much about what you say offending someone. Here are some things it’s usually best not to say: 🟡 "I know how you feel" 🟡 "It must be a relief, in a way" 🟡 "At least you still have ... " 🟡 "They would want you to be happy" 🟡 "In time you'll meet someone else" 🟡 "Time is a great healer" Is there anything you'd add? #grief #dyingmatters #talkingaboutdyingmatters #cruse #bereavement #death #crusebereavementsupport
All this week, @hospice_uk are putting the spotlight on the way we talk about death and dying, as part of Dying Matters Awareness Week. There are two parts to this issue, and one is about language. The words we choose are so important. Personally, I'm not a fan of euphemisms - I have this feeling that they help reinforce the idea that death is, and should be, a taboo subject. In my own life, I prefer to say that someone has 'died' rather than 'passed away'. But I'm also aware that this is my personal preference, and for lots of people, that feels too direct. For some, using euphemisms is the only way they feel able to talk about a difficult topic. And if saying ‘passing on’ helps someone open up a conversation, well I'm all for that. It's why, when I meet with bereaved families, I try to take my lead from them when it comes to language. And therein lies the second part: whatever words we use, one way or another we need to be able to have those conversations. Because ultimately, death comes to us all – we can’t avoid it. But if we make it taboo, it’s that much harder for people to deal with when they have to face it in their own lives. After all, as humans, talking about difficult things is one of our best tools for processing them. There are some excellent resources on this topic being shared by @dyingmatters – worth hopping over to check them out. #DyingMatters #DMAW24 #Bereavement
Living with Grief serves as a guide for your grief journey using simple mindfulness-based exercises to restore mind, body, and spirit. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of grief, and aims to enable you to honor your loved one’s legacy while continuing your own life’s path. You will find out ways to cope with the pain of loss and embark on a healing journey, through breath and body exercises for feeling overwhelmed or unsteadied by grief to relaxation techniques that will help you to release tension and steady your mind. While Living with Grief is centered around the death of a loved one, the mindfulness practices in the book will also be helpful to readers experiencing other kinds of loss, such as separation, divorce, unemployment, health-related loss, and relocation.

6 to 12 May is Dying Matters Awareness Week. To mark this, the chapel at the West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds hosted an event to highlight the support available to people facing death and dying. This included our mortuary and bereavement, palliative care and chaplaincy services, My WiSH Charity, colleagues from Macmillan Cancer Support and St Nicholas Hospice. As well as the opportunity to talk to people who support and advise those who are nearing the end of their lives, and their loved ones, there was charity bake sale and raffle. #DyingMatters #Death #Bereavement #Dying

Thoughtful Thursday This week I've been thinking a lot about the restorative power of nature and how immersing ourselves in it can help us on many levels while we grieve. Here are three reasons to inspire you to get out into nature as a means to help you with your grieving process 1. Refocus and Release Nature and being in nature can help us to refocus and take away some of the enormity of our grief. Whether we walk, run, swim or climb mountains, the need for us to fully focus on the activity and our surroundings means our brains don’t have much space to think about anything else. This includes our grief. 2. Feeling Comfortable in our Sense of Smallness When we are out in nature and enjoying the landscape, we can appreciate its vastness. This can make us feel very small and give us a different perspective on our situation. 3. The Importance of Specific Places We can find so much comfort in revisiting places that have special meaning to us. Being in places that we’ve been with our loved ones can evoke wonderful memories and help us to feel closer to them. Ultimately, we can easily get access to nature and it's a free and easily accessible resource. So, even if you're unable to get to see mountains or the sea, you can still sit in your garden or visit a local park and just Be 🙌🏻 Being in nature enables us to grieve without embarrassment and free of judgement, especially our own. Where is your favourite place to embrace nature? Let me know in the Comments [inspired by a post on Marie Curie website] #grief #grieving #bereavement #nature #thepowerofnature #therestorativepowerofnature #natureingrief #coaching #bereavementcoaching #bereavedbusinessowners #bereavedentrepreneurs #mariecurie
Some new grief supporters struggle to understand, because they can’t fathom why a griever doesn’t seem to be “healing”. These supporters don’t have bad intentions. They’re innocent concerning grief, therefore ignorant, but they do want to learn and be more sensitive to those surviving grief. Grievers hurt because they are mourning a love so deep and strong that never had the chance to be shared, or was shared but can no longer be. They’ve lost a version of themselves they once knew or were eager to get to know. Having so much love, meant for those who have died, can feel impossible to bear. It makes the memories hard, and the moments they should be here almost unbearable. Grievers only want to give this love where it was intended. Grievers, comment below with ways you feel supported to help supporters understand how they can help:
What would you really say if you had that one moment again to say what you really wanted to say? It's a tough one, I woke up this morning asking what I would day to my dad who passed away a few months ago. I have so much to say, one minute would not be enough time.... What would you say? Drop a comment below ❤️ big hugs to anyone feeling the pain of grief today. #grief #griefjourney #seniorsgriefcircle #bereavement #griefsupport #griefhelp
Happy Mother’s Day Week to those of us that would have signed up anyway …. 💔❤️🩹💔👼 . . . . #grief #griefjourney #bereavement #bereavedmother
This book is excellent. I would fully recommend it to anyone supporting teens through grief. I went to a trauma and bereavement training facilitated by David Tricky last year and he has a way of making complex themes really simple to digest and implement in practice. This book is a very useful and accessible tool for teens and underpinned by trauma informed practice. Psychosocial education is an important part of therapy and there is a correlation between understanding and distress. The more we understand what is happening, the less confused and uncertain we can feel and this can lower distress. Fully recommend! #grief #bereavement #traumainformed #arttherapy #therapy
