At a recent webinar, Julia Samuel, who  write Grief works, talked about support being the single biggest predictor of healing through grief.

It got me to thinking, what support do I have? Is it the right support? Would I like something different?

So, what does support look like for you?

For me, I think of these things

  • Coming here and to places like Way up
  • Having a cuppa or a meal with friends who are compassionate even if they havent been here.
  • Art therapy provided by the hospice Tony was under
  • Offers of help, lifts, shopping, food
  • A person who is happt to just listen to me. This may be a counsellor or not
  • Being with others who get it so you dont have to keep explaining.

As I write, some of these things arent yet happening for me eg counselling but they are things I would like to be there more. 

Over to you?
