We love how Lisa Guilfoyle Counselling has worded this. Be kind to yourself today 🌻

Mothers day can be very difficult for lots of people. Some get to spend time with their mum, some wish they could spend time with her, some long to feel what it's like to be a mum, and some have never known their mum.
Everyone will experience mothers day differently. If all you can do is wait for the day to be over, be gentle, be kind to yourself, and I hope tomorrow is easier than today.

As Mother's Day looms grief and loss can become something we think of a lot. Whether that be your own mother, your children, or what could have been remember feeling your feelings is valid.

Loran has just read a great book. As many of you know she likes to recommend chapters of books. But here's one page that may help you if you're experiencing loss.

Acknowledgement of your feelings is everything.

Sometimes with grief it's about learning to live a new life embracing it and not trying to forget.

"Grief is love with nowhere to go"

Counselling can help you think of your missed person in order to process their death and where your feelings are then at.

Does this help you....? Putting words to feelings is helpful.

We use creative ways to explain grief to our clients. Drawing out your river of life may be helpful and something that can be done collaboratively in therapy.

Where's Stroebe and Schut said that grief means you bounce around. Can you see how the process is different to what Kubler-Ross had previously said.

Remember everyone's process is different and grief looks different to everyone.

Grief....

Who knows what it even means but sometimes finding comfort in knowing these cycles and feelings are normal help us manage our own feelings.

Remember there is no right or wrong way to grieve.

Kubler-Ross was one of the first women to identify stages of grief.

Remember self care is so important even for us! Loran took her dog to Stafford Castle yesterday and felt much better for doing so!

Remember self care can be anything. Having a cuppa, going for a walk, reading a book, hiking a mountain. Anything that makes you feel good!

It's time to talk day 06/02.

Remember we all struggle at times and talking to a trained professional can always be helpful. We're not friends or family and you do not have to filter what you say.

Always reach out if you need to.

🌥 Blue Monday Reminder: It’s okay not to feel okay 🌥

Today might feel heavier than usual, but you’re not alone. Blue Monday is often called the “saddest day of the year,” and while the term may be symbolic, the emotions tied to it are real.

✨ Here’s your gentle reminder that your feelings are valid, and it’s okay to seek support. Therapy can be a powerful tool to help you navigate challenges, no matter how big or small.

🛠 Therapy offers:
✔ A safe space to process your emotions
✔ Tools to manage stress and anxiety
✔ Support for personal growth and self-compassion

💬 If you’re struggling today, reach out to a friend, loved one, or therapist. Small steps, like talking about how you feel, can make a big difference.

Let’s rewrite the narrative—Blue Monday doesn’t have to define your week. 💙

What’s one thing you’re doing to care for yourself today?
