Today is National Grief Awareness Day where we all should think and recognise the time it takes to heal from loss.

Grief doesn't have a prescribed course, and closure comes in many forms.

When a loved one dies, the void they leave affects everyone differently.

Today provides us all with time to reflect and reach out to others.

Lt Matt Newman, who lost his wife just over a year ago, shares his thoughts with you.
