Bereavement / Grief

Thank you so much to everyone who has replied, I will be looking into everyone's suggestions! 

Have you seen this?  Some useful looking links at the end.

There's also this:

Not a recommendation because I haven't read the book but "Autism And Loss" by Rachel Forrester-Jones and Sarah Broadhurst is available on Amazon.  It seems to be aimed at carers but perhaps that doesn't matter if it gives you some tools that may help.  Taking baby steps helped me.  

Not really one for quoting the Royals but The Queen's comment that "Grief is the price we pay for love" also resonated with me, and helped me to remember the good stuff and value the memory of the time we had together.  

Wishing you well.

Hi NAS68561,

So sorry to hear that you are going through family bereavements.  There is a bereavement guide on our website which might help and there are some links to other resources at the end.  You can find the guide here: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/mental-health/bereavement/autistic-adults

I hope that helps.

The grief never goes away, but time does heal.
