Grief Journal
Contrary to the old saying – time heals all wounds – at Dandelions Bereavement Support, we know that it is the expression of our grief and emotions over time that helps us to work through the pain of bereavement.
Grief never ends, but the way we feel about the loss changes as we process it.
People use many different tools and methods to work through their grief and express their feelings around the loss.
One of the most popular ways is journaling which has been proven to have many benefits to a person’s wellbeing and can particularly help in bereavement.
Wathall’s has designed a bespoke Grief Journal which is available to buy online or to reserve and collect from any of our branches.
Bereavement Blog
Fay Bloor is our Bereavement Support Coordinator and a fully qualified counsellor. She has written a series of blogs about different aspects of bereavement which we hope you find interesting and of comfort as you move through your grief journey.
