Grief is complex, it’s complicated and it’s messy. Whilst everyone grieves differently there are some common threads and themes it can be helpful to know. Every month, our bereavement support workers are running a live Q&A on how grief can impact different aspects of your life growing up. We also have a recorded talk called ‘Growing with grief: Guide to an undiscussed topic’ covering the impact of grief, common feelings and ways to cope.
Grief doesn't happen in a vacuum. You are still having to experience and continue with your life whilst grieving and that's completely unique to you. We recognise that grief can be 'turned up' during certain moments and milestones so we're hosting free live Q&A sessions once a month on various topics about grief. It's your chance to ask questions and hear directly from a bereavement support worker. These sessions will be a safe space, where attendee camera and mics will be turned off throughout but you can send us your questions during the talk.
Whilst these sessions are confidential, which means that we will not share anything you tell us with anyone else, there are limitations. If you share something with us that makes us concerned about the safety of you, or someone else, we may have to pass this onto organisations outside of Winston’s Wish. We will always try to talk to you about this first, if this is the case. If you need crisis support, please reach out to your local emergency services (in the UK, this is 999).
