Thankyou @NaturalBurials for raising awareness of our charity & supporting your bereaved families. They say; ‘I was chatting to someone the other day and mentioned The Good Grief Trust Umbrella Pins. It was something they had not heard of before. Please be kind and patient if you see someone wearing one of these pins. It may be something they are wearing in remembrance, but it could also be because they have recently lost a loved one. In the midst of grief, even simple everyday tasks can feel overwhelming. Wearing this pin is one way we can share that we are having a difficult day when we are grieving. Unless we know what it means, we don't always understand it, but it can help us to be more understanding. ☂ 🧡 If you feel one of these would be helpful for yourself or for someone you know is struggling you can find them on the good grief website, along with support and advice that may be helpful when grieving the loss of a loved one’ thegoodgrieftrust.org/good-g…

Thankyou @drkathrynmannix for sharing this useful graphic. We know tips like this from the bereaved to friends and family, are always well received. Kathryn says; 'Well done @BBCMorningLive @jacquijdesigns for showcasing the impact of 'turning away' from bereaved friends & neighbours. Here are a few ideas for getting back in touch with people you feel may awkward to approach. Graphic by @mlalanda from my book, 'Listen.'
