Some free support for those who are grieving. Such a very generous opportunity from John who is an expert in bereavement

My colleagues and I would be grateful if any therapists working with bereaved clients could share this information. This is part of a project researching the efficacy of online bereavement groups, with the ethical approval of York St John University.

ONLINE BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT GROUP

We have run these groups on a regular basis since the Covid pandemic. Our next one is planned for the end of October, for ten sessions. There is no charge.

The sessions are 90 minutes, from 4.30 to 6.00 pm on Tuesdays,starting 28th October 2025.

We are open to anyone in the UK who is experiencing grief and who feels this might help.. We interview all applicants to explain what we do in greater detail, and answer any questions they may have.

You can find more information here: https://www.yorksj.ac.uk/working-with-the-community/communities-centre/bereavement-services/

You can self-refer at https://yorksj.solvefit.co.uk/csr/ and we will get back to you.

"The Empty Chair"

Have you ever found yourself wishing someone was beside you in life’s little moments?

Missing someone isn’t measured by how long it’s been since you last saw them or how much time has passed since you spoke. It’s felt in those quiet, unexpected moments when you’re doing something ordinary and suddenly wish they were right there with you.

I struggle to talk about this sort of thing so please bear with me I may ramble.

There have been times when I couldn’t see a way through, I struggled to make it through one minute, let alone an entire day and my brain was somewhere I couldn’t stand to be.

I have learnt I have a brain that dances to its own beat, some days it feels like the sun is shining just for me, and others are a little more grey. With that I’ve found ways to cope, the biggest one being asking for help, my beautiful friends know when it’s happening, sometimes even before me and remind me it won’t last forever. No matter how dark I feel, I still bring so much light to the world.

If you are reading this and you are struggling, please know, please please know you aren’t alone. You aren’t broken, you are needed, you are loved, you. Just as you are, are enough. I know it might seem impossible now but one day there’ll be a glimmer, and I know it can feel like the greatest marathon, so until that day comes, focus on the next step. If it means taking it second by second, hour by hour that’s okay.

The world needs you to stay.
