We think the conversation about grief is something that the majority won’t follow, but what we do is give shoulders to ones who need it, hugs and love, and that is what makes us real.
There is something that we have learnt over the last few years in dealing with this continued pain is that our experiences make us as strong as it also makes us weak. But by joining together there is comfort in shared experience of grief.
Sometimes all someone needs is to be listened to. Not judged or even given advice, just to be listened to.
If you need to join the conversation, then you are welcome.
But if you recognise you need more and are ready, there are so many ways to find help.
These are hard times.
Some may find comfort from these conversations about grief
