Having Grace through Grief with Bronte Le Marquand

The conversation delves into our experiences of grief, trauma, and therapy, highlighting the importance of emotional and physical needs, different approaches to therapy and grief, and the resilience and acceptance required in navigating grief as well as all of the other emotions in between. There is no time limit or milestone to be achieved and your feelings are valid, remember to have grace and be patient with yourself. WARNING: This conversation covers topics of grief, loss and trauma. Creating environments for people to feel and process grief is so important as a friend, family member or in the workplace. Actions speak louder than words and practical support like doing the shopping, picking up the children or cooking can be so helpful to give someone space to do this. You do not have to go through grief alone, just listen to our stories on this episode, come to one of our events or book your therapy session with Bronte. We get it here.
