Deep breaths, face to the sun, lovely!

I’ve been thinking about how difficult it’s going to be to carry grief across Christmas & New Year celebrations. I've written about things that could help as mum started to decline in Xmas & I lost her in the New Year https://dementiawho.com/coping-with-grief-this-christmas/07 Dec 2025 10:43 +0000at://did:plc:imiyfaursqt3jmiebnwpik44/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7fdfx3qdk24https://bsky.app/profile/dementiawho.bsky.social/post/3m7cu7ied322tThere are days when “I’m okay” is the only answer I can give. Talking about grief can open up more than people expect. They don’t see the holding back, the editing, the effort to stay composed. This is what grief actually looks like. #NationalGriefAwarenessWeek #griefjourney06 Dec 2025 11:05 +0000at://did:plc:imiyfaursqt3jmiebnwpik44/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7cu7ied322thttps://bsky.app/profile/dementiawho.bsky.social/post/3m735sxblts22It’s #NationalGriefAwarenessWeek , so I wanted to talk about the parts of grief that rarely get mentioned, especially after caring for a loved one with dementia. The reality is you cope with the support you have, or you reach a point where you need more help.03 Dec 2025 09:36 +0000at://did:plc:imiyfaursqt3jmiebnwpik44/app.bsky.feed.post/3m735sxblts22https://bsky.app/profile/dementiawho.bsky.social/post/3m6reu57ats26Gwent Carer's Hub are offering their annual carer activity packs, they have limited availability so its on a first come first serve basis.
