Compassionate Penarth @CompPenarth

This week is National Grief Awareness Week. The aim of this week is to raise awareness of grief, and to help to normalise conversations around it. What's one thing you wish people knew about grief? #NGAW #NationalGriefAwarenessWeek #Grief #Bereavement #Cruse

Sometimes it is hard to know what to say to a dying person. Having a conversation about them is a way to not only engage them, but to give them a chance to talk about their life and gives you a chance to know them better. Have you asked questions of your person?

We're delighted to be supporting @goodgrieftrust's #NationalGriefAwarenessWeek 🤝 This week we will #ShineALight on our resources to help cope with grief - and stories of people who have experienced it. #NGAW24
