Sometimes it just feels too soon and so unfair...

Over the past couple of months we have said a heartfelt farewell to loved ones who sadly were only to see a lifetime  of some 40-50 years. Some were illness, some were the result of coping strategies to what have clearly been very difficult and troubled lives and experiences. With each has come an understandable - if not entirely warranted - sense of guilt and responsibility from their families. Questions pre-occupy their thoughts and memories wondering  were there signs and things which they just missed? Have they not cared enough? Should they have been more 'interfering' and stepped in when they were worried and concerned? Sadly, hindsight is a wonderful and also painful thing.          In spending time with each of these families it was so touchingly clear that your love, care and support was nothing but incredible and always there. And your loved ones knew and felt that. That is such an important truth and realisation to hold to now as you each begin what will be a very unique and at times difficult with your grief and loss now. I always like to signpost families and friends to the incredible support and professional bodies who are always just a phone call away. Whilst this is a deeply individual and unique time for you now, it doesn't by necessity need to be a lonely one.
