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

Grief can take you by surprise. I have found that after each death I have experienced, people want to avoid the topic, which can make you feel like you shouldn't be talking about your grief. Come on, let's show one another more support when grieving!💙 #BeGriefAware #NGAW2025

‘Trust in yourself’ - Director of Bereavement at Irish Hospice Foundation on coping with grief
“Grief changes your life. It’s not just an event, it’s not just something that you feel for a month or two months … so you need to trust in yourself and trust in others to be there for you.”

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.

It's National Grief Awareness Week.

Remember: most bereaved people welcome the chance to talk about the person they lost. Don’t avoid mentioning them — you don’t lessen grief by avoiding the subject.

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. 💙

Someone may seem “okay” on the outside while still carrying deep loss within. There is no single way to grieve, and every experience is valid.
