Grief is a universal experience — and so is compassion.
In many languages and many voices, this simple reminder is shared: you are not alone.
This NGAW, let’s keep making space for one another, in whatever words feel right. 💛
#YouAreNotAlone #NGAW2026 #GriefSupport

💬 You never know what it might mean to the person on the other side of your message.
A simple text can bring light into a heavy moment.
This National Grief Awareness Week, small acts of care make a big difference.
📱 Show you care. Send the text.
#NGAW2026 #BeGriefAware #CompassionInAction

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.

Myth: Older people cope with grief better. Fact: No one simply "gets over" grief. With time, we learn to carry it at any age.

Grief is deeply personal. Like a fingerprint. There’s no right way to grieve, and no two people will respond in the same way.

It’s the anniversary of my mum’s death – and I’m thinking about space rocks and shell suits There’ll be more laughs than tears today… as long as you discount tantrums from the three-year-old

As part of National Grief Awareness Week, I've partnered with the Irish Hospice Foundation to share some writings on the subject.

This piece was an attempt to trace the odd, circuitous routes that grief takes over decades.

Grief doesn’t follow neat stages. It moves in waves — sometimes steady, sometimes unexpected. Some feelings fade and return.🌻

‘Your mammy was a flower’: a young boy’s bereavement One of 11 children, Séamas O’Reilly was just five years old when his mother died. In an extract from his touching new memoir, he recalls the day of her wake

I've always found writing about grief difficult, but rewarding. Today I'm sharing this piece, adapted from my memoir's first chapter, which is a good intro to its themes (death is sad) and its tone (things are still funny). #NGAW2026 #IrishHospiceFoundation

Grief affects us all, yet it can often feel isolating. This National Grief Awareness Week, Irish Hospice Foundation invites us to be more aware, understanding and compassionate towards those who are grieving and towards ourselves.
