Grief on Father’s Day
Losing a father can be an incredibly challenging and emotional experience for a child, and Father’s Day can amplify those feelings of grief and loss.
A Matter of Life and Death Festival
Dying Matters Awareness Week is next month, an annual event aimed at raising awareness and encouraging people to have open and honest conversations about death, dying and bereavement.
National Day of Reflection
Tomorrow is The National Day of Reflection – an annual event that takes place on March 23rd. It was initiated by the end-of-life charity Marie Curie to mark one year since the first UK lockdown in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Suggestions for managing Mother’s Day
Both grieving a Mum and grieving a child on Mother’s Day can be difficult so our counsellors have offered some suggestions for both of these circumstances – How to cope when bereaved of your Mum/Mom, followed by how to cope when you are bereaved of your child. We hope you find them useful.
