❄️ Grief can feel colder in winter.

When the days grow shorter and the nights stretch
on, loss can echo a little louder.
The world slows down — and sometimes, so do we.

If you’re grieving this winter, please know: you are
not alone.

Wrap yourself in warmth wherever you can find it — in memories, in kindness, in the quiet comfort of others who understand.

It’s okay to rest. It’s okay to miss them.
And it’s okay to look for small lights in the dark. 🕯️
We’re here, walking beside you through every season.

Autumn has a way of stirring up grief. The changing light, the falling leaves, the quiet evenings — they remind us of who and what is missing. 🍂
If this season feels heavy, you’re not alone.

Grief moves with us, sometimes sharp, sometimes soft, always part of love. Be gentle with yourself as the days grow shorter. It’s okay to miss, to ache, to remember. 🤍

Summer can be especially hard when you’re grieving. While the world around you is full of sunshine, holidays, and laughter, your inner world might feel heavy, quiet, or out of sync. The longer days can stretch the silence, and the absence of someone you love might feel even louder.

Barbecues, beach trips, family gatherings — these moments can bring unexpected waves of sadness or loneliness. If you're feeling this way, know that you’re not alone. It’s okay to protect your peace. This summer, give yourself permission to feel whatever you feel.

If you think of talking to someone would be of benefit, The bereavement Help Point may be able to help you. Our sessions are held weekly in Oakham at the Library between 2-4pm, and in Uppingham at The Falcon Hotel between 3-5pm. We would love to see you there to offer some help and support to you.

Finding hope after a loss is a deeply personal journey that often takes time and patience.

Engaging in activities that bring joy, connecting with loved ones, and creating new routines can help.

It is important to allow oneself to feel the full range of emotions and to seek support when needed.
Small moments of hope and happiness can gradually build a foundation for a new chapter, honouring the past while looking forward to the future.
The Bereavement Help Point may be able help with the support that you need.

Sessions are held weekly in Oakham at the Library between 2-4pm, and in Uppingham atThe Falcon Hotel between 3-5pm. We’d love to see you there to offer some help and to support you.

Literature and Grief:
Literature has long been a source of comfort and insight for those experiencing grief.
Books, poetry, and essays on loss and bereavement can offer solace, understanding, and a sense of connection.
Through the written word, we can explore our emotions, find validation, and discover new ways to cope.

Literature can also serve as a reminder that we are not alone in our experiences, providing a shared human connection. Whether fictional or drawn from real life, we find reflections of our own struggles.

If you or someone you know would like some support with human connection, The
Bereavement Help Point may be able to help you.

Sessions are held weekly in Oakham at the Library between 2-4pm, and in Uppingham at
The Falcon Hotel between 3-5pm. We’d love to see you there to offer some help and to
support you.
