Reminders for members of the grief club:
Hold on tight to those who check in on you in your grief journey
Never give up
Don’t minimise your grief to manage other people’s comfortability
Your grief journey will look different to someone else’s and that is ok
Never underestimate the power of letting your emotions out
You matter, your grief matters and so does your loved ones memory
You never have to go through it alone
If you are grieving, we hope you can connect with these reminders. Sometimes, as young people, we can be expected to just get on with things and our feelings and grief can often feel undermined. Please never forget how special you truly are and that the connection you still share with your loved one is everlasting and as important as it ever was.
If you’d like to speak to someone about how you are feeling, reach out to us via email anytime: hopeagain@cruse.org.uk. You can also call the freephone Cruse helpline on: 0808 808 1677. If you’re over 18, you may also like to chat with a trained bereavement counsellor by using the CruseChat feature on the Cruse website. Their services are open Monday-Friday, 9am-9pm.
Please reach out if you are struggling - there is always someone ready to listen and to share the weight of your grief with you.
