Topic Tuesday // Grief and Loss // Tues 3rd August, 7:00-8:30PM AEST

Hi SANE Community,

This fortnight we welcome Griefline as our special guests for a Topic Tuesday on Grief and Loss. Griefline support Australians experiencing grief, offering support through their helpline and online community.

Grief and Loss:

Grief is a natural response to the loss of something or someone important to us. At some point in our lives, every person will experience grief and loss in some way.

While we all experience loss and grief, the emotional and physical pain when we lose something or someone we love will be felt differently from person to person, and often from loss to loss.

This Topic Tuesday will hold space for us to discuss the grief and loss we have felt in our lives, how we have coped and what we can do to support a loved one who might be experiencing grief.

Please join us here on Tuesday the 3rd of August 2021 from 7:00pm-8:30pm AEST to follow this conversation.

Want to receive a reminder on the night? Hit the 'Support' button below.

New to the forums or want to get involved in this discussion? Check out the How To Guide for Topic Tuesdays.

_________________________

This topic is an important one for those who have experienced, might be experiencing or could experience loss. While each of us have different experiences of grief and loss, we want to make sure that this space is an open and respectful space to hold all of our experiences. Before joining this discussion, we would encourage you to familiarise yourself with the community guidelines so we can make this space as supportive as possible.

@amandaGL I had several people say to me they were glad it was me who found my grandfather because I was the strong one - there was no recognition of the trauma I was going through nor the grief and it made it so much harder to deal with.

After losing h I met with a friend every week for a walk together. She just listened to me prattle on about h's funeral and final days. She didn't say anything, just listened and for the next few years qould take me to lunch on H's "anniversary". I will never be able to repay her kindness and support.
