Join us on 11th December 2025, to learn more about dealing with grief, coping with loneliness and reflecting practice method to overcome it.
Grief is a natural response to loss. It's the emotional suffering people feel when something or someone you love is taken away. Often, the pain of loss can feel overwhelming. People may experience all kinds of difficult and unexpected emotions, from shock or anger to disbelief, guilt, and profound sadness.
Grief is different for everyone, but most people would agree that dealing with loss affects your mental health. Emotions associated with grief can vary in severity and people might feel like being on an emotional rollercoaster.
The journey to the point of acceptance is different for everyone and some people may take longer to get there than others. Eventually most people are able to accept the loss and start living a normal life again but sometimes this chronic grief can develop into a mental health disorder.
Then there is loneliness that can affect people at any age, but we often think of it as only affecting the elderly population. Loneliness cuts across all ages and stages in life.
Feeling lonely isn’t in itself a mental health problem, but the two are strongly linked. Having a mental health problem increases your chance of feeling lonely, and feeling lonely can have a negative impact on your mental health. Lonely individuals are more likely to visit their GP, use more medication or self-medicate and have a higher incidence of falls.
Join us to get to learn how to overcome loneliness using methods such as reflective practice!
