Latest blog about my partnership with forward thinking care agency Sentinel Care Services.

Losing a loved one or a pet is something that never gets easier even when we’ve experienced loss many times before. Each relationship is unique and individual.

Yesterday, on World Mental Health Day, I was an inspirational speaker at New College presenting to 200+ young people about how the Grief Recovery Method allows you to move beyond relationship breakdown, death and other losses. I felt very honoured to be able to share my experience of recovery after significant loss, which I know will save some of those young people many years of pain and misery and may even save a life.

The following short clip is me talking this week on BBC Radio about my husband's death by su***de 5 years ago. I speak about the traumatic impact this had on my life and how I was able to let go of deep distress and emotional pain using the world renowned Grief Recovery Method. This programme has enabled me to find peace and fully engage in life. I have since trained as a Grief Recovery Specialist and now help others to recover their lives too; whether the loss is death, divorce, health, pet loss or career. Message me if you want more information on how to access this programme where you live, or train as a Grief Recovery Specialist.

Please share this post as someone out there may need this help.

It is shocking that when men are brave enough to seek help, they find that there is a waiting list! This was my experience too after my husband died by su***de and is the reason why I trained as a Grief Recovery Specialist. I now help others experiencing loss, such as bereavement and relationship breakdown, which can often be the root cause for men who become depressed and anxious. I don't have a waiting list so if anyone needs help now please contact me.

Last year, 4,623 men took their own lives in Britain. That works out to more than 12 deaths a day, and accounts for 76% of the total su***des in the UK in 2014. In fact, su***de is the biggest killer for men under 45 in the UK. These statistics, compiled by mental health charity CALM (Campaign Again

It is Children's Grief Awareness Week in the UK. It is estimated that in the UK in 2014 there were 110 newly bereaved children every day.

Grief is normal and natural so why is it so hard to know what to do?
Whether you are a parent, a teacher or otherwise involved with children you will know that sinking feeling when questions are asked about sad and painful feelings. Often we are left struggling for the right words, not least because we ourselves don't know what to do either.

Child bereavement hit the headlines recently when HRH Prince William quoted and echoed his Mother, Princess Diana when he described "grief is the most painful experience"

Whether the child in your care has been bereaved, is about to face bereavement or they have experienced other significant emotional losses following divorce, pet loss, house moves, changing school, being adopted, fostered or a myriad of other losses having the correct information at your fingertips can make a signicant difference to their progress and well being.

I am running "Helping Children Deal with Loss" Programmes in Shropshire. Based on the highly successful Grief Recovery Method, this programme, for adults, will teach you how to communicate with the children in your care about losses they have experienced and those they yet might face.

Have you had a pet die, gone missing or you have been forced to rehome because of a change in circumstances? Then this program could help you.

If you've found yourself almost inconsolable after your pet died or went missing, please know that you are normal. If you've found that your family and friends don't seem to understand the level of your grief, please know, that too, is normal.

Without comparing our relationships with our pets to those with people, we know that, because of the unique emotional relationships we have with our pets, their deaths or absence, produce a level of pain that is difficult to describe.

I am now running the Pet Loss Programme, based on the highly successful Grief Recovery Method, in Shropshire (Telford & Shrewsbury). The next one starts in November. Dates also available in the new year. Call 01952 255952 or email [email protected]
