There is no “you should do this” or “you should not do that”. The best thing you can do for yourself is to listen deeply to your needs. Do you need a day of rest? Do you need a busy day to distract yourself? That’s okay. Have compassion for yourself as you navigate uncharted waters. Maybe grief has shown up in your life in different ways, but you have never had this particular experience of grieving. Nothing has felt like this before. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5913ab6a9f7456878ba337d8/1588818820328-QYAD3LKULSRN3S99AXBW/Screen+Shot+2020-05-06+at+7.33.20+PM.png Mental health resources for events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5913ab6a9f7456878ba337d8/1588818730377-LGGGYL2DOWWC322KM4CZ/Screen+Shot+2020-05-06+at+7.31.57+PM.png Mental health resources for events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5913ab6a9f7456878ba337d8/1588864655263-LJ62QQ48SBUSWKI9F28W/image-asset.png Mental health resources for events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5913ab6a9f7456878ba337d8/1588819140412-4DCBMQDIUBJXD33Y1G2E/_MG_7911.jpg Mental health resources for events "It can feel vulnerable to reach out for professional support- especially during a challenging time. Having someone to talk to who is safe, non-judgmental and who will help you navigate grief can be a lot different than talking to a supportive friend or family member. A counsellor can help you make your own new meaning from your grief, while providing a safe space for you to feel hard feelings." - Jennifer Hollinshead, Founder and Clinical Director of Peak Resilience https://alicaforneret.co/bipoc-mental-health-grief daily 0.75 2020-06-06 https://alicaforneret.co/quotes-for-articles daily 0.75 2020-05-31 https://alicaforneret.co/grief-at-work-1 daily 0.75 2020-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5913ab6a9f7456878ba337d8/1600989785609-1PBQRTKQPHUGPXA7LZK2/griefatwork3.jpg Grief at work - GROUP AND 1:1 TRAININGS Trainings designed to help your whole team or individual managers better understand the complexities and realities of working while grieving.

It can just suck. To be together in whatever comes up on Mother’s Day, The Dinner Party has launched a storytelling campaign where you can share about who you’re missing, and what life has been like in their absence. They'll be sharing these submissions, on their website and socials to say the names of those we’ve lost, and see one another in our grief.
