Grief Support
Grief is a personal journey, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Whether you have recently lost someone or are supporting a loved one, help and support are available.
Grief doesn’t follow
a timeline.
Grief is different for everyone. You may feel sadness, anger, confusion, loneliness or even moments of relief. Some days may feel manageable, while others can feel much harder.
Grief can also affect you physically, causing tiredness, changes in sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, or feeling overwhelmed by everyday tasks.
There is no right way to grieve and no set timeline. Be gentle with yourself and allow yourself to grieve in your own way.
Grief can affect more than our emotions
Grief isn't only an emotional experience. It can affect your thoughts, your body and your ability to manage everyday life.
You may notice tiredness, changes in sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating or feeling overwhelmed by everyday tasks. These experiences can be a normal part of grieving, and everyone responds differently.
