Thank you, Trudi. You're so kind. A quote by Philippe Aries was sitting in the back of my mind as I wrote this piece, “A single person is missing for you, and the whole world is empty. But one no longer has the right to say so aloud.” Being silent or silenced in your grief can multiply the pain of loss, while sharing that loss with others can be a balm.
Brilliant as ever. It’s so important to feel connection with others and have your feelings recognised.

That’s a poignant quote, Laura. Thank you for sharing it.
