21.01.2022 Margaret Rice, author of 'A Good Death' and founder of 'Good Grief' (https://good-grief.com.au/) wrote a blog about our study on grief in older people. We are still looking for older people who are interested in completing our #grief survey and for GPs and practice nurses who would like to be interviewed. Please share and get in touch if you are interested. https://good-grief.com.au/the-ocean-of-grief-how-does-grie/ Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement Margaret Rice

19.01.2022 A poem about grief. "There is no other side... but rather a new way of seeing, a new dimension of self."

19.01.2022 If you are struggling with grief, it is important to ask for help. The Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement has some great resources and support services, including a grief app. Please reach out if you need help.

18.01.2022 We found this visual representation by @holisticallygrace which perfectly captures what comes out of our mouth vs what we really mean, think or feel. Sometimes ...we just aren't ready to share or voice the true answer when someone asks how we are. This may be because someone hasn't given you the response that you'd like, but if you can muster up the courage to answer truthfully every now and then, regardless of the answer, it can be incredibly empowering. Have you tried it? What is your "I'm okay" masking lately?
