This week has been a strange one for me. I’ve experienced a bit of a change in circumstance which has involved some loss. It’s been uniquely hard, given that it has taken place within this bizarre pandemic. That emotional rollercoaster has been particularly dramatic for me over the past seven days.
I don’t think I am alone in navigating loss at the moment, I think we’ve all experienced it in some way; the loss of life as we knew it, the loss of security or safety, or even the loss of people in our lives.
I think therefore it can be helpful to think about grief, and to explore some ideas and tips on how to ride the waves of it.
So with that in mind we have two articles to share with you this week:

I hope they are of use.
With love, Hannah and Team Bird
