Welcome to the Grief Support Hub
Welcome , we're glad you're here
We are so sorry that you are experiencing loss at this time.
Loss and the grief that follows can cause such upheaval in our lives. It's often a confusing and lonely time. We might find ourselves asking if what we're thinking or feeling is normal?
Our hope is that our Grief Support Hub will answer some of your questions and give you some information and skills to help you navigate this with a little more ease.

Listen to the Podcast
There are over 110 episodes on the Shapes Of Grief podcast. Liz has spoken with people who have had a wide range of experiences of loss and grief. We hope you find these conversations useful and enlightening.
Books about Grief
According to some researchers, grieving is like a learning experience. We have to learn how to be in this changed world. For many of us, books can provide such learning. We've put together some ideas for you, let us know if you have other recommendations!
Forest Medicine
Grief can be so overwhelming at times, it can feel like it is bigger than us. Spending time in nature can be a wonderful balm; nature never finds our grief too much, she can bear all of it at once. Liz is conducting research into the benefits of spending time in the forest. For some nature therapy tools you can use, check out forestmedicine.ie
