Two deeply moving poetry collections that deal with grief: Paul Stephenson’s ‘Hard Drive’ and Christine Webb’s ‘Catching Your Breath’. The poems that span these volumes have made me cry so many times; they’ve made my grief feel seen, validated, and shared.

In the picture, a parent reads an illustrated storybook to a young child in their lap. Bold navy text on the right reads, 'Grief Awareness Week, Death and grief in illustrated storybooks: An inventory of Swedish literature for young children.'
Storybooks play a crucial role in the experience of childhood. As death is an inevitable part of life, storybooks can be a helpful tool to start communicating about death and grief.

The five stages of grief model was developed by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross in 1969. Having an understanding of the stages of grief can help you navigate your feelings as you process your loss. They are non-linear, you will experience these aspects of grief at different times.⬇ #GriefAwarenessWeek
Marking #GriefAwarenessWeek by highlighting recent work as an Officer of the APPG on Grief: meeting bereavement groups, securing a Westminster Hall debate on children’s support, and speaking at the launch of Winston’s Wish’s Ask Me programme. Next up: the Grief Centre London event.
Grief may feel heavier during the holidays. Finding ways to be with loss that feel safe can help.
#GriefAwarenessWeek reminds us what it means to live with loss. Can we be gentle and understanding, to ourselves and those around us? May we each feel held as we hold what has touched our lives 💜

You don’t need answers, just presence
Grief doesn’t need fixing.
It needs holding. Witnessing.
Don’t rush in with solutions.
Just show up. Bring a cup of tea.
Ask if they want to talk. Or not.

This week is #GriefAwarenessWeek, and also the week that would have been my husband's 35th birthday (the same age I was when he died).
Earlier in the year, I contributed to this documentary about LGBT+ widowhood, where I talked a little about him.

A graphic with text that reads: Look after yourself physically Grief can have a physical impact on you. This can affect things such as your appetite and sleep. If and when you’re ready, you may find these steps help you to feel a little better: Try gentle exercises Maintain a good sleep routine Eat at regular times Try to avoid alcohol and other substances
A graphic with text that reads: Connect with others Spending time with others, especially those who care about us, can be very helpful when grieving. Often, people want to help but don’t know how, so guide them to what you need, whether it be a shoulder to cry on, some distraction or some practical help. Beside the text there is an illustration of three people knitting together
A graphic with text that reads: Try to maintain your hobbies Maintaining your interests can help provide you with a routine and keep you grounded in reality. It can also help you release stress, relax, and feel more hopeful about the future. Even if you don’t enjoy them as much, try to keep going with your hobbies as much as you can. There is an illustration beside the text of three friends painting together
