I founded The Grief Trail after the sudden and unexpected loss of my brother-in-law, George Newton. Grief is difficult to put into words, and I know that no amount of time will ever fully heal the pain of losing George. Through this experience, I have come to understand grief in many of its forms. It changed the way I viewed grief. I began to see that there had been other moments in my life when I was grieving, though at the time I didn’t have the language to recognise it. That is why I created The Grief Trail, to make a space where grief in all its forms can be named, understood, and supported. A community that can come together to carry each other.
