They felt better supported and this has had a direct impact on their overall mental health which in turn, will have a positive impact on the work we do in the community”. Dr Amir Khan "In the pandemic so many patients have lost loved ones and families have been devastated. The 'normal' grief process has been the most difficult thing under lockdown. I have sent condolences cards with The Good Grief cards for my patients. This signposting has prompted them to consider contacting someone for support with their grief. No one should have to grieve alone. I fully endorse that the GP practices should add the Good Grief URL to their text facilities as another way of reaching the bereaved and supporting the mental health of our community"  Dr Nighat Arif “It is a fantastic idea to ensure that bereaved people are signposted towards reliable and trustworthy sources of support, and the Good Grief Trust website gathers both national and local resources into an easy-to-follow directory.  Many bereaved people are deeply touched by a personalised card or letter sent by a GP after a death: this card offers a way for a GP to send condolences and know that they are also sending reliable support information. At a time when grief has become so complicated by covid-related separation from loved ones, this is a timely venture and I wish it every success”. Dr Kathryn Mannix  Copyright © 2018 The Good Grief Trust All rights reserved.
