Grief is not a flaw to be ignored; it's love with nowhere to go.
Being human means feeling deep emotions and forming bonds. When we experience loss, grief reflects those connections.
And acknowledging grief honors what or who matters most.
We love September as the month of self-care. Embrace it with fantastic suggestions.
Self-care isn't selfish—you can't pour from an empty cup. Join #SelfCareSeptember to be kinder to yourself and others.
🙏💕🌍

If you know someone who is grieving, don't hesitate to share a joyful memory of their loved one. By recounting your experiences, you show your support and can help your friend feel connected to the person who has passed away.

Paulo Coelho once said, "Never. We never lose our loved ones. They accompany us; they don’t disappear from our lives. We are merely in different rooms."
When grieving, memories can help sustain the presence of those who are now physically absent in our lives.

In times of sorrow, feelings of isolation can be overwhelming.
Feeling lonely is akin to hunger or thirst, indicating a need for connection. There's no shame in solitude; we all seek companionship. Start with small actions to strengthen social ties.

Gentle ways for movement to help with grief:
Go for a short, daily walk in nature
Try gentle yoga, pilates,
Tend to a garden
You don’t have to run a marathon. Sometimes, the most powerful act of self-care is simply standing up, stepping outside and allowing your body to lead the way forward

Text on red right side reads 'Heat stroke - confusion, lack of coordination, fast heartbeat, fast breathing or shortness of breath, hot skin that is not sweating, seizures. Act fast - Get help. Call NHS 111 or in an emergency 999.
We hope you stay safe & well during the hot spell
With temperatures still rising, make sure you know the signs of heat exhaustion & heatstroke & take action quickly if needed
Find information & tips to take care of yourself & others at the @richmondcouncil.bsky.social website (search 'Heatwave')
Sometimes, it's the little things that count.
If you're concerned about someone, ask them how they are feeling and take the time to really listen. Small, everyday actions can help remind them that you're thinking of them.

"It's ok. It's ok to miss them. It's ok to cry. It's ok to laugh. It's ok to breathe deeply. It's okay to smile when you think of them. It's ok to function. It's ok to be angry. It's ok to be thankful. It's ok to love again. It's ok to remember. It's ok to hope. It's ok. It's ok. " Lexi Behrndt
