National Grief Awareness Week 2025 - Growing with Grief 🧡
This year we're proud to support the National Grief Awareness Week campaign, whose theme "Growing with Grief" beautifully captures the tender, transformative nature of loss.
Losing someone we love can feel like an ending in every imaginable way. Over time, though, grief can also become the soil from which something new slowly begins to grow. We never return to who we were before - instead, we grow into someone shaped by love, memories, and resilience.
This growth doesn't remove the pain, but it can allow hope to reappear. Many people find that they become more present, more compassionate, and more aware of what truly matters in life. 🌿
As part of this year's campaign, you're invited to:
🌼 Plant seeds in memory of someone you love
📸 Share your photos on social media and tag the Good Grief Trust
🧡 Enter the 2026 Photography Competition
🚶♀️ Organise Walk & Talk events in your community
🟧 And on 8th December, the final day of the campaign, watch as communities across the UK light up in orange to honour those who have died and support those living with grief
At Family Tree Funerals, we are deeply committed to supporting people through grief - not only at the time of a funeral, but in the weeks, months and years that follow.
We offer a range of thoughtful grief support books, gentle guidance, and a compassionate approach rooted in understanding. Whether through practical help or simply holding space for someone's feelings, we believe in walking alongside our community as they find their own path through loss.
🧡 This week, and always, we stand with all who are grieving - and with all who are learning to grow with grief.
