    Hello, 


    I'm mindful that Valentine's Day is approaching and that this may be a hard day for those who are grieving the loss of a partner or spouse or if your partner/spouse is currently very ill.


    The 'noise' around dates such as Valentine's Day can feel very loud- cards in shops, boards outside restaurants, posts on social media.


    It can make an already very difficult time feel even more overwhelming.


    I just wanted to create an opportunity for people to share if they are feeling the strain of this Valentine's Day please know we are here to support you and this is a safe space for you to share your feelings.

    Also, if there is something that has helped you cope with this event that you think might be useful to others then we would love to hear about it too.


    Thanks so much and warmest wishes,

    Laura (member of the Marie Curie Information and Support team)
