Living Alongside Grief

Grief can catch us off guard when we least expect it. A memory, a date, a photograph or a passing comment can suddenly bring difficult emotions to the surface.

In this practical and compassionate session, Nicky Tschumi-Leake, founder of BRCare Connect CIC, explores two simple concepts from Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): responding rather than reacting, and recognising that thoughts are not always facts. Participants will leave with a practical tool to help navigate difficult moments with greater awareness and self-understanding.
