And for anger and resentment too. It's ok to be upset but when any emotion starts to take over, it's absolutely a great time to get guidance on how to get through it.

Please take care of your mental health just as you would your physical health. If you are not sure where to start, consider calling your family doctor and talking through what you have been experiencing. Treatment and support are available. Reaching out to a therapist can provide a safe and supportive space to talk, learn coping strategies, and begin the process of healing. You do not have to navigate this on your own, and taking that first step can make a meaningful difference. 💜💙💜

Good morning folks

I don’t want this to alarm anyone who is less than 5 years into their grief journey. But I also look at it as a way to perhaps prepare.

Did this happen to anyone? For many of us, it’s always been this way. For me, it was year 2.

No matter what..big hugs to all of you.

Talking about your child or youth’s mental health with friends and family isn’t always easy — and stigma can make it even harder. Peer Support Facilitators from Parents and Caregivers for Mental Health invite you to an open, supportive conversation focused on practical ways to navigate these conversations with confidence and care.
