The unresolved aspects come to the surface, and it's like a fulcrum. It sort of meets at that point. Be gracious with yourself. Give yourself some time and space to grieve. There are some times when you'll feel like you want to be on your own and cry or be still. There are other times when you'll feel like you really need to be with people. Gather people around you as much as you can who you know you can trust.
Grief touches us all, yet it's a journey often traveled alone. In this poignant episode of The Wellbeing Lab, host Will Young sits down with Andy Langford, Clinical Director at Cruse Bereavement, to unpack the many layers of grief and bereavement.

This conversation isn't just theoretical; it's filled with practical advice and heartfelt insights. Andy emphasizes the importance of giving yourself the time and space to grieve and the need for communal activities that foster support and healing. Whether you're grappling with recent loss or seeking to understand grief better, this episode offers a compassionate guide through one of life's most challenging experiences.
