Thanks to Corinne J, from the US, for suggesting this article, which seeks to help people understand the grieving process and help them move forward in a healthy way. Corinne was assigned an end-of-year task by her teacher to write a paper about Mental Health awareness: what they learned, how COVID19 impacted society and what they can do to help themselves and others to stay healthy. Corinne discovered the Bereavement Links page on our website and in turn asked her Mum, Sarah, to pass on this article for us to include. A great example of how the internet can be used for good purposes! Dealing with Death, Grief and Bereavement
