The first year after losing someone close can feel overwhelming, unpredictable, and deeply personal. Whether you're facing waves of emotion, struggling with practical tasks, or simply trying to make sense of life without your loved one, this compassionate guide offers thoughtful support for each step of the journey.

Bereavement: The first twelve months and beyond provides gentle insights into the emotional, physical, and spiritual impacts of grief, and offers practical advice for managing legal matters, preparing for anniversaries and special occasions, and caring for yourself and others. It acknowledges the complexity of grief—including when relationships were difficult—and encourages you to grieve in your own way and time.

This resource is designed to be dipped into as needed, offering reassurance, guidance, and connection when you need it most.
