A little about me
Hi, I'm Janet.
I live in West Yorkshire and I'm a mum and grandmother. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, travelling, getting outdoors and making the most of the everyday things in life.
"My life has been shaped by profound loss. I know what it is like to wonder if what you are feeling is normal — or whether you will ever feel like yourself again."
My understanding of grief comes from both personal and professional experience. My own life has been shaped by significant loss, and I know how difficult it can be to imagine a meaningful future when life has changed so completely.
I also have many years of experience supporting people living with grief and loss, including supporting others in bereavement work. My background in education gave me further experience of helping children, families and colleagues through some of life's most difficult challenges.
Your loss and your experience are unique to you. My role isn't to tell you how to grieve, but to help you make sense of what has happened, find ways to manage the challenges you are facing and, in your own time, begin to find your way forward.
Although grief changes us, it does not mean hope is lost.
