National Grief Awareness Day 🦋💜
Today is a gentle reminder that grief doesn’t have a rulebook.
There’s no right way to grieve, no set amount of time, and no point where you’re expected to simply “move on”. Some days you may feel okay, and on others, the smallest thing can bring everything back. That’s grief and it’s different for everyone.
At Butterfly Funeral Services, we see every day just how deeply people love the ones they’ve lost. We also know that our care doesn’t end when the funeral does.
Sometimes, it’s the quiet moments afterwards that can be the hardest.
So today, we’re thinking of everyone carrying the loss of someone they love. Whether your loss was recent or many years ago, your grief is valid, your memories matter, and it’s okay to take things one day at a time.
If you know someone who is grieving, don’t be afraid to say their loved one’s name. Sometimes, knowing they haven’t been forgotten means more than you realise.
