Losing someone important to us can be emotionally devastating. Grief can bring up lots of different, complicated emotions, and can sometimes affect our physical health.

Bereavement affects everyone differently, and it's possible to experience any range of emotions. There's no right or wrong way to grieve.

We can also grieve things like the end of a relationship, someone’s declining health, the loss of a job, moving away to a new location, and distressing world events.

There’s no time limit on grief, and it can touch every part of our lives.

That’s why it’s important to try and look after our wellbeing when we’re grieving.

That might mean...

➡️ Being gentle with yourself and taking things slowly
➡️ Remembering there’s no right or wrong way to feel
➡️ Doing things to cherish your memories
➡️ Finding people who’ve been through similar experiences
➡️ Making food choices that work for you
➡️ Connecting with people who can support you

If you’re struggling with grief right now and need a bit of support, head to our website. We’ve got information, advice, and signposting: www.mind.org.uk/information-support/guides-to-support-and-services/bereavement/

"I think the Nurse Appeal is really important to raise awareness about how important our role is."

Our Nurse Appeal is funding new Parkinson's nurses and specialists across the UK. Thousands of people with Parkinson’s don’t have access to healthcare specialists they desperately need to live well with the condition. But together, we’re changing that.

Whether you’ve donated, raised awareness, or supported us in any way, you're helping us make sure people with Parkinson's have access to the care they need. But we still have £4.6 million of our £9 million target to go. And we need your help to get there.

"I hated opening up to the crisis team and didn’t want to talk about my mental health with anyone else. I found myself avoiding the staff, spending most of my days outside, exploring the area until someone called me to check where I was.

"Unsurprisingly, I didn’t feel any better. It seemed like a big waste of time, counting down the days until I had my freedom back. The future seemed bleak. I desperately wanted to escape it all, but I knew if I didn’t talk to someone, nothing would improve.

"One evening, I was filling out a form for the crisis team. Confused about one section and hesitant, I shuffled into the office, where I saw a young woman at the desk on her laptop. She saw me and smiled. I handed her the form, stumbling over my words, asking for her help. Immediately, all her attention was on me.

"As we worked through the form, she asked me questions, trying to get to know me. She surprised me with her empathy and kindness. When I didn’t know what to say or hesitated, she spoke, giving me advice, warm words and encouragement. Suddenly, I felt more comfortable and reassured. Talking through my confusing thoughts and urges helped me make sense of them.

"When I was leaving, I was told I could come back whenever I wanted, whether I needed to talk or just to say hi. Even now, it remains my ‘home away from home’. Gathering the courage to open up is hard, but if you are staying at a crisis house, it’s important you make most of the staff. I fully believe that if I had opened up sooner and allowed myself to spend more time with them as they wanted, I would have felt a lot better, a lot faster!”
