This life is a crazy ride, first & foremost you have to understand & look after YOU

27/11/23

A year ago yesterday we announced to everyone Dan had Cancer. I just can’t even wrap my head around how much my life has changed in a year. One thing I do know is Grief is seriously misunderstood, and there is VERY LITTLE EDUCATION ON IT – and I’m talking even Counsellors, Drs etc The thing is, if I want professional help for my grief, I want it from someone who has experienced the level of grief I have. It is simply NOT something you can understand doing a class for 5 minutes or reading a paragraph in a text book. It seems grief is like nutrition for Drs – barely mentioned in their training. Why is this? Seriously? When one thing that is guaranteed to happen to all humans is they will loose loved ones and go through grief? Its literally insane to me that is is not properly discussed and people that’s job is to fucking help people with grief aren’t appropriately trained in it! Bat shit. I cant do much now as it’s still so early in my journey, but I do hope by writing my experiences here and what I share on my social media platforms gives people an idea.
