Many friends have no idea what to do when they know someone is experiencing grief. In reality, a grieving person will want to know that you are present and able to listen to them for however long they need.

Part 2: Feelings of guilt in grief🌻
This is the last part of the guilt in grief series with more examples of how you might feel guilt around the loss of your loved one.🪐
These examples are just from what I have experienced myself, but of course everyone grieves differently - and that’s normal! 💫
The last slide has a few prompts to help us get through these horrible feelings that can just add to the spiral that grief pulls you into 🌦️
I hope this helps, even just a little, and go towards starting to be kinder and more forgiving to yourself 💙
…and as always our DMs are always open to you whoever you are and whatever you may be going through ☀️

Thanks to your incredible support, we have raised £974 for Pancreatic Cancer UK by running the Edinburgh Marathon. On the day, Charlotte was unfortunately unable to go ahead with the run but I completed the marathon in about 5 hours. It was tough but a lovely day with great support. , thank you for the invaluable work you do.

For those of you who want to help but don’t know how:

Everyone grieves differently but after speaking to many of you I found some common to say / not to say.

Even if you’ve been through grief yourself, being on the other side and trying to support a friend is always difficult.

Here’s just a few examples of what to say (or what not to say)

Grief does not follow rules. People are often very quick to say that you will follow a 5 stage process after a loss - bu...

Grief does not follow rules. People are often very quick to say that you will follow a 5 stage process after a loss - but grief is not linear at all, and does not follow a set process. There is no right or wrong way to grieve.

This post is all about guilt in grief, how it can present and why we feel it 🧐 These thoughts and feelings can be really uncomfortable but I think it helps to know it’s a normal part of grief and we all feel it! 🌻 I think the most important message in this is to be kind to yourself and be forgiving of yourself - because it’s easy to think of things you should have done differently in hindsight, but at the time things seemed entirely different ✨

Have you ever felt that you are not feeling the way you are ‘supposed’ to whilst experiencing grief? You might not always be sad or physically crying whilst going through loss, but this is normal! The shock of such an event can cause emotional numbness as your brain is struggling to process what has happened. So if you are not crying at your loved one’s funeral, don’t be too hard on yourself.
