For many, this time of year can bring a quiet heaviness as we remember and miss those we love. Grief does not always have clear words, and it can be hard to understand, whether it is our own or someone close to us.

In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, Mel Robbins is joined by grief expert David Kessler for a compassionate and insightful conversation about loss and grief. They speak openly about what grief can look like, why it feels the way it does, and how we can meet ourselves and others with greater understanding.

If you are carrying grief, or walking alongside someone who is, this is a gentle and meaningful listen.

📌 Patient Intake Notice: Festive Season Update

To ensure our dedicated team has time to rest and recharge, we will pause new patient intakes from 23 December to 5 January. During this time, all existing patients will continue to receive the care and support they need.

Thank you for your understanding as we give our staff the opportunity to spend time with loved ones while continuing to care for those already in our care.

Our Wall of Remembrance is complete. Each card, each message, each name gently held by a piece of string all form part of a tapestry of love and memory.

Our Wall of Remembrance stands as a tribute to those we have loved and lost. Though no longer with us, they are forever woven into the fabric of our hearts.

Thank you to everyone who shared the names and messages of those so dear. May this wall be a gentle space to pause, reflect, and feel connected to them, and to each other.

Forever remembered. Forever loved.
