If you're struggling with your mental health, Christmas can be difficult to navigate. The pressure to feel festive or to socialise can make difficult emotions feel even heavier. If you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, lonely or are struggling with grief, you're not alone. #mentalhealthsupport 💜

Whether it's your first Christmas without someone, or they died many years ago, you may find your grief is more intense during the festive season. You're not being a 'Grinch', you're coping with a loss after a difficult time. Be gentle with yourself and seek support if you need it. #griefandloss 💜

Christmas is often associated with excitement and joy, but it can also be a difficult time, straining us mentally, emotionally, physically and financially.

What is Grief? Grief is a natural response to loss. Its the emotional suffering you feel when something or someone you love is taken away. Often, the pain of loss can feel overwhelming. #NationalGriefAwarenessWeek #Grief&Loss #BereavementSupport

The five stages of grief model was developed by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross in 1969. Having an understanding of the stages of grief can help you navigate your feelings as you process your loss. They are non-linear, you will experience these aspects of grief at different times.⬇ #GriefAwarenessWeek

📣This is a reminder that you don't need to keep going and end up ill or burnt out. You are allowed to take time for yourself to heal. Healing may look like self-care, setting boundaries, or talking to someone. You do whatever you need to. 🧘‍♀️ #wellbeing #healing #mentalhealth #MentalHealthSupport 💜
