“Just being in a room with people who understand creates a very deep and subtle empathy, without people realising they are doing it”

“This group has given me more relief, release, and comfort than anything else since my wife passed away”

"It was most useful to speak to others who felt comfortable to share and I could share but also to receive hugs if upset without asking. Probably the first time that’s happening in over a year for me"
