Take care of yourself.

During grief, self-care is crucial. Even though it's hard, try to maintain a routine. Staying active and eating well can help, as can avoiding alcohol or other substances.

It's not selfish to look after yourself—you deserve to heal, and these small steps can make a big difference.

Understand the stages of grief.

Grief is complex, but understanding the five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance can help.

Recognising where you are in this process can make sense of your emotions and reassure you that you are making progress, even if it feels slow.

A Day Behind the Scenes at Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance

Paul and Kim from Diamond & Son Funeral Directors had the privilege of attending an exclusive tour at the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance (HIOWAA) Airbase in Thruxton.

Highlights of the day included meeting the pilot and crew who dedicated themselves to responding to emergencies across the region—often in the most challenging conditions and the chance to explore one of the charity’s helicopters up close.

The tour offered them a deeper understanding of the logistics, training, and rapid response protocols that made HIOWAA such a critical part of the emergency services.

Paul and Kim expressed deep gratitude to the HIOWAA team for hosting them and for the tireless work they did.

Seek out support.

Finding professional support for grief can be a huge help. Joining a support group, either online or in person, connects you with people who truly understand.

Talking to a grief counsellor or psychotherapist can also help you work through deeper feelings and find a way forward.

Let's talk mental health.

World mental health day is an opportunity to talk about your mental health and make space for others to do the same.

Starting a conversation isn't always easy, whether you’re opening up or checking in on a loved one.

If you’re sharing, choose someone you trust and a comfortable space. Be prepared for their reaction—give them time to process.

If you're listening, give them your full attention, ask questions, and ask how you can help.

Talk to friends and family.

Expressing grief is tough, but talking to a trusted person can help.

Friends and family may feel awkward, so reassure them you just need a listening ear, not advice. Be open and tell them what you need, like, "It would really help me to have permission to talk about my grief right now."

Sharing memories of your loved one can become a healing journey which you can share with those who knew them. Learning about and reflecting on your loved one whilst simultaneously allowing yourself to say goodbye.
