Grief doesn't come with a manual. But Grief First Aid can help- just ask Rachel. Rachel's powerful testimonial encapsulates the value of Grief First Aid: "I'd love to say I can't imagine going back to work after losing a spouse and becoming a solo parent, but unfortunately I can. There was little support for me and very little guidance on what my options were. From the small changes I have put into where I work from doing the training, I know that in the future no one will need to feel the same way as I did, there is new policy, new guidance, and new support networks specifically for the bereaved now." By becoming a Grief First Aider, you can: • Provide meaningful support: Offer comfort and understanding to those who are grieving. • Reduce stigma: Help break down barriers and create a more open culture around grief. • Promote healing: Create a safe space for individuals to express their emotions and begin the healing process. If you want to make a difference in the lives of those around you, consider becoming a Grief First Aider. It’s a valuable skill that can have a profound impact on your community.

"With grief, you just don’t know what to expect from one day to the next... You’ve got to take it minute by minute, and try as get as much support as you can." In October 2021, Clare's daughter died in a road traffic incident. In the years since, Clare has been navigating her grief whilst finding ways to remember her daughter. After receiving support from Cruse, we're incredibly grateful that Clare has shared her story with us ⬇️ https://ow.ly/eEzz50UK0fG

Siblings hold a unique place in our lives. When someone dies, it is common for people to focus their support on the parents, partner or children of the person who died. Siblings, whether as adults or children, can sometimes be left out and made to feel like their grief doesn't matter. If you need support, we're here ⬇️ https://ow.ly/xBCk50UGV8a

"Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape." - C.S. Lewis Grief affects us all in different ways. It’s important to remember there is no ‘normal’ way to grieve. If you need support, we're here ⬇️ https://ow.ly/AGFa50UIkw1

We're often told there is a set timeline for grief. The 'growing around grief' model challenges this idea. This view of grief does not tell someone that their grief will go away in time. It acknowledges there will be some days you feel the grief so strongly, and others when you are able to move forward with other parts of your life. The 'growing around grief' model shows that we can grow a new life which includes our grief. For more information, head to our website ⬇️ https://ow.ly/u7CE50UFTJt

After the death of a parent, you may feel very differently from one moment to the next. You might feel lost, have regrets or question your place in the world. You're not alone, and we're here to support you. For more information, head to our website ⬇️ https://ow.ly/ks1f50UFiLQ

Everyone handles grief differently, even family. There is no right way to grieve, and we each react in our own way. If you need support, we're here. https://ow.ly/bn5G50UBL5v
