We talk about the stages of grief and different models for grief, but at the end of the day, it is a deeply personal experience, and there will always be feelings or experiences you didn’t expect.

Loss isn’t always what we think it is.

When we hear the word loss, we often think of death and bereavement, but there lots of different types of loss that can affect us deeply throughout our lives.

So I thought I’d share on older video of mine exploring the different types of loss and how they can impact our emotional wellbeing, relationships and sense of self.

Am I supposed to feel this way?

Grief is one of the most universal human experiences, and yet, so much of it goes unspoken 💙

When we lose someone we love, the world shifts in ways we're weren't prepared for. So, in my latest blog I wanted to share some of the things people don't often talk about when it comes to losing a loved one.

Because sometimes, just knowing that what you're feeling is normal can make all the difference.

Grief is not linear — it’s human.

It can feel overwhelming, confusing and deeply personal, and I know firsthand that sometimes it’s hard to find the words to describe what we’re going through.

That’s why, in this video from my series on grief and loss, I explore the five stages of grief as described by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross.

This is not as a strict roadmap, but a compassionate framework to help you make sense of loss and your emotional response to it.

You can watch, reflect and share this video with someone who might need it today: https://youtu.be/gYaj5GOgfd0

This is the third video in my series on death, grief, loss and bereavement. In this chapter, I take a look at Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’ model on the five stages...

💛 Grief is one of the hardest things we can carry. 💛

And it doesn't always look the way we expect. It isn't only losing a loved one. It can be the end of a relationship, a job, a dream, or a version of your future you had mapped out.

Whatever your loss looks like, it's real and it's valid.

Healing doesn't mean forgetting. It means gently learning to carry what happened, while still allowing your life to move forward.

In my latest blog, I share 7 ways that can help you navigate grief.

So, if you're struggling right now, please know, you don't have to go through this alone, check it out here: https://www.cypselae.co.uk/ways-to-cope-with-grief/

Grief can feel heavy, confusing, and unpredictable. During hard times, being gentle with yourself isn’t just kind — it’s essential.

But self-care isn’t just about bubble baths and Instagram aesthetics, it’s about noticing what your mind and body need, and giving yourself permission to feel and express emotions in healthy ways.

But what is self-care really, and why does it matter when you’re grieving?

I explore this topic in more detail in my recent YouTube video, and you can check it out here: https://youtu.be/Pcq7WmXnl-Q
