Social Graphics

A social media image for Irish Hospice Foundation's National Grief Awareness Week 2024. The text reads: "Grief can take me by surprise. It's in my body, my thoughts and my feelings, and it sneaks up on me at times."

Suggested Tweet:

There are no stages of grief; it ebbs and flows. Some feelings might come occasionally or catch you by surprise. Others might be more persistent. For bereavement supports, visit @IrishHospice’s Bereavement Hub 👉 bereaved.ie

A social media image for Irish Hospice Foundation's National Grief Awareness Week 2024. The text reads: "Just because I'm not crying doesn't mean I'm not grieving."

Suggested Tweet:

Grief is as unique to an individual as their fingerprint. There is no one right way to grieve, and no two people’s reactions will be the same. For bereavement supports, visit @IrishHospice’s Bereavement Hub 👉 bereaved.ie

#BeGriefAware #NGAW2024

A social media image for Irish Hospice Foundation's National Grief Awareness Week 2024. The text reads: "Grief isn't any easier because I'm older and have experienced more loss."

Suggested Tweet:

Myth: Older people are more prepared to cope with grief because they are more likely to have more experience of it.

Fact: People do not simply ‘get over’ their grief but over time find ways to accommodate their grief within their lives.

Suggested Tweet:

You don’t need any particular skills to support someone who is grieving. You can ask them to meet for a walk, drop by for a cup of tea or offer practical help, such as preparing a meal. It can all go a long way. #BeGriefAware #NGAW2024 @IrishHospice

A social media image for Irish Hospice Foundation's National Grief Awareness Week 2024. The text reads: "Please talk about them. I'm thinking about them anyway."

Suggested Tweet:

Most bereaved people welcome the chance to talk about the person they lost. Don’t avoid mentioning the person who has died — you don’t lessen grief by avoiding the subject. #BeGriefAware #NGAW2024 @IrishHospice
