Grief After Moving Home or Losing Your Home
Grief does not only happen when somebody dies. Sometimes it begins because life has changed in a way we did not choose or expect.
This guide looks specifically at grief after moving home or losing your home. It explores the losses that can sit underneath the practical changes - including identity, confidence, safety, independence, relationships, routine and the future you thought you were going to have.
I have included information about emotional and physical reactions, why grief can come in waves, the impact on relationships, gentle ways to support yourself and when professional support may be useful.
You do not have to minimise a loss simply because other people think you should be grateful, positive or moving on. It is possible to acknowledge what has changed while gradually finding your way forward.
With warmth,
Maggie
