Welcome to Understanding Differences
~awareness, information and support about any diagnosis, loss and bereavement~
Everyone perceives the world Differently and has Different values and experiences... Understanding those Differences and recognising that ‘what may be right for one’ may not be ‘what is right for another’ could be the most valuable resource we can offer.
A common denominator binding our topics together is loss and grief. These experiences can create a whirlwind of emotions and physical reactions.
Grief can be triggered by any loss, diagnosis or bereavement and grief can affect the whole family,
including children. Often adults avoid the truth to protect children, but many sense when something is not right and begin to use their imaginations to fill the gaps.
This is why our ethos is to be honest at age appropriate levels so that by being open, children are included and able to express themselves and make choices which lead to a healthier emotional future.
