Everyone of us has experienced sadness at some point in their life, often when something we cared for is lost to us – a person, a pet, a part of our life, a part of ourselves even.

These events can very easily move us off balance, cause a feeling of sadness and in more significant cases a prolonged depression of mood and motivation. As painful as these periods can be, it is helpful to understand something of why our bodies react in this way.

This place of stuckness can be unbelievably painful for people. But with the right support, people can find their way out, to reengage with life and the fullness of what it has to offer - and what they have to offer it.
