How we can help πŸ‘‰ www.thelossfoundation.org/grief-support-groups

Join the Founding 500 πŸ‘‰ www.thelossfoundation.org/join-the-founding-500 The group is defined by its users and we want to make sure we continuously provide reliable and beneficial support, therefore, the group will evolve according to members’ needs. We will have the chance to share experiences over refreshments, and we will occasionally have speakers, which will be announced on our website. However, a constant element of the group is space – the space is there for you to talk, listen, or simply to be.

Huge thanks for all your support ❀️

The training is getting real… πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜…

Our Founder, Dr Erin is officially putting in the miles for the Vitality London 10K on Sunday 27 September - all in support of The Loss Foundation.

Team TLF has set itself a pretty ambitious challenge: 10K for Β£10K. We’re hoping to raise Β£10,000 to help keep our bereavement support free for people grieving the death of someone they love to cancer.

Every Β£18 raised can help give someone a place at one of our support groups - somewhere they can talk, connect and be with people who understand.

So while Erin keeps running, could you help us get that fundraising total moving too? 🧑

Donate, share, cheer us on - it all counts. Thank you!

Continuing the bond is a natural part of many people's grief. πŸ’›

Love doesn't end when someone dies.

You might find yourself talking to them, thinking about what they'd say, celebrating traditions, or carrying their values with you.

For many people, staying connected in these ways isn't about being unable to move forward - it's simply another way of continuing to love.

In this short video, we explore the idea of Continuing the Bond and why many people find it a comforting way to understand grief.

πŸ’­ Memories can be a source of comfort in grief.

For many people, remembering someone they love brings more than sadness. It can bring warmth, connection, laughter and a sense that they're still part of our lives.

Over time, memories can become something we return to - not because we're unable to move forward, but because love doesn't end when someone dies.

In this short video, our founder, Dr Erin Hope Thompson, explores how memories can become a source of comfort and connection after loss.

"Who am I now?"

Loss can change the way we see ourselves, our relationships and the world around us.

The Meaning Reconstruction Model suggests that grief isn't about having all the answers - it's about gradually rebuilding a life around what's changed.

There isn't a timeline, and you don't have to make sense of everything straight away.

🀎 Sometimes it's enough to take one small step at a time.

πŸ“š Explore our Grief Models Hub to discover a range of evidence-based models and find the perspectives that resonate most with your own experience.

Grief. It's complicated.

Whether you're a therapist, a charity worker, or simply supporting someone you care about, grief can leave us wondering what to say, what to do, or how best to help.

That's exactly why we're launching a new programme of grief training webinars.

From psychological models of grief and therapeutic approaches like CFT, to conversations, cancer bereavement and frontline support, our upcoming webinars are designed to help you feel more confident when it matters most.

I'm Erin, Founder of The Loss Foundation.

Usually I'm talking about grief. This September, I'll be trying to talk myself through 10 kilometres... with varying degrees of success. πŸ˜…

Training has been a reminder that progress isn't always straightforward. Some weeks you feel strong. Other weeks, progress looks a lot more like rest than running. πŸ˜‚

But every run (and every rest day) brings us one step closer to the Vitality London 10K and our goal of raising Β£10,000 to keep bereavement support free for people affected by cancer.

If you'd like to support the challenge, we'd be so grateful. Every donation helps ensure nobody has to face grief alone. πŸ’›

🧑 We’re recruiting Trustees!

The Loss Foundation is entering an exciting new chapter, and we’re looking for passionate people to join our Board and help us reach even more people who are grieving.

We’re particularly keen to hear from people with experience in strategy, HR, fundraising, marketing, digital or training.

You don’t need previous Board experience - or personal experience of bereavement. What matters is that you care about our mission and want to help make a difference.

We’re a small but mighty charity with big plans. Could you be part of our next chapter?

πŸ“£ Take a look at the Trustee recruitment pack and please share with someone who might be a great fit.

πŸ’­ Guilt is a common part of many people's grief.

You may find yourself replaying conversations, questioning decisions, or wondering if there was something you could have done differently.

These thoughts can be incredibly painful - but they are also a common response to loss.

In this short video, we explore why guilt can show up in grief and offer gentle reassurance if this is something you're experiencing.
