Support
When it comes to emotions there is no right and no wrong, but the one thing you can be sure of in dark times is that you are likely to experience a huge range of emotions. In times of grief and loss, this ranges from soul searching sadness to unbelievable anger. In Emma’s Support articles she draws on her experience as a widow and trainee counsellor to help guide you through some of the emotions you might be feeling and give tips, advice and a helping hand on how to come to terms with what comes up so you can begin to find a new understanding of what is going on for you.
