Grief can affect us physically and mentally, for example disturbing our sleep or making it hard to focus.

"In my experience, everyone experiences grief and loss differently and this is particularly true when you are living with a chronic health condition or supporting others going through this experience. Often people cope with grief in their own ways and in their own time. Additional support can be helpful if you feel like you're struggling to cope. There are a number of services that specialise in helping families impacted by grief. I'd encourage you to reach out to one of these organisations to find out how they can help you to navigate the challenges you're experiencing and support you to feel less alone in your grief."
