You don’t need the perfect words or special skills to support someone who is grieving. Simple gestures like a walk, a cup of tea, or practical help like preparing a meal can offer real comfort and connection.

Small acts can mean a great deal. 💙

You don’t need the “right” words to support someone grieving. A walk, warm drink, or a helping hand can make all the difference.

Common Myths About Grief Through National Grief Awareness Week, we will break down some of the common myths about grief. Take a closer look at some of these myths.

The idea of the '5 Stages of Grief' is something many people think of when they imagine grief. However, this doesn’t always match with how most people actually feel. Grief is a fluid, deeply personal experience without stages or deadlines.

An image with all illustration of a person releasing a dove in the air. The text on the image reads, "Grief isn't any easier because I'm older and have experienced more loss."

𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵: Older people are more prepared to cope with grief because they are more likely to have more experience of it.

𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁: People do not simply ‘get over’ their grief but over time find ways to accommodate their grief within their lives.

An image with text that says, "Grief can take me by surprise. It's in my body, my thoughts, and my feelings, and it sneaks up on me at times."

There are no stages of grief. It ebbs and flows. Some feelings might come occasionally or catch you by surprise. Others might be more persistent.
