Stories of Grief by Our Readers, Friends and Family

The following are articles on grief and loss by some of our friends, family members and readers. Some were written as a grief journal or as part of activities undertaken while attending a grief support group.

Writing about your experiences is an activity often recommended by grief counsellors and support groups. The following articles by our guest writers have been written by friends of ours and readers of this site who have experienced various forms of grief or loss. 

We are grateful to them all for letting us share their experiences and for their honesty and their positive outlooks. They are all inspiring and we’re sure that their stories will be of great help to those who find themselves in similar situations.
