The Loneliness Epidemic In Young People

Everyone can feel lonely at times. It can happen to absolutely anyone, no matter what age, gender, race, sexuality or anything else. It’s a tough thing to handle, but it doesn’t mean that anything is wrong with you. Humans all want to feel connected to one another.

Making Space for Grief at Christmas

As the nights draw in and the days on the calendar hurtle towards December, most of us are starting to plan. Making lists, sorting meals, buying gifts – it’s all part of the fun festivities. But for many, there's another plan that needs to be made - how to manage the grief of a lost loved one. Since Christmas is a time for family gatherings, it can bring up a lot of complex feelings and grief for those who are no longer with us, even if we lost them some time ago. Grief like this is a totally normal part of life, which is why it's important to embrace it, rather than repress it. To try and make this festive season a little easier, we wanted to share some tips around how to make space for grief at Christmas, and make it a positive part of the celebrations.
