Griefsters, what are your favourite articles/authors on #grief? More looking for individual pieces of writing on grief specifically than general novels/books. Thank you as ever!

We are mourning a way of life - this is a shock that needs to be acknowledged. Fatigue, worry and disillusion are everywhere. Alex Evans / @alexevansuk.bsky.social speaking in our session on the #COVID19 pandemic #GoodGriefFest goodgrieffest.com/events/the-cov…

This Good Grief Festival was amazing! More than was humanly possible to consume in a crazy-covid-filled-weekend. SO GLAD we paid & that events will be available afterwards to catch up & fill in the gaps. Well done everyone who worked so hard. What a massive achievement! 👏👏👏

4 years ago tonight I lost my eldest son. “We may look as if we carry on with our lives as before. We may even have times of joy and happiness. Everything may seem “normal”. But THIS, “Emptiness” is how we all feel...all the time." ❤ Melancholy by Albert György

Matthew Roberts. I've seen great resources in the responses Dr Emma Kell FCCT, esp Child Bereavement UK & Winston's Wish who have useful resources all ages. It happens... Let's talk about end of life can discuss staff training. This needs to be part of teacher training: 1 child in 29 in UK has been bereaved of sibling or parent.

We are delighted that Good Grief will be hosting a series of free events with the amazing Julia Samuel. Julia will explore a different type of #bereavement each month - sibling loss, losing a parent, the death of a child & losing a life partner. goodgrieffest.com/ask-julia-samu… #grief

With schools closed again for most pupils, support from teachers and school staff is more vital than ever for bereaved pupils. Although you may not see them face to face, there are plenty of ways you can support them 👉 buff.ly/2X0qcQg

"This question is so good yet so complicated." We asked Kathryn Mannix if we overvalue quantity of life. She gave us a great answer... medium.com/death-dying-an…

When a young child in nursery or primary school is bereaved, it’s important that staff acknowledge what has happened in a simple and straightforward way. Visit our website for more information on supporting bereaved children aged under 5: ow.ly/Ugyc50Ed6hz
