With any major transition in our lives, there is the potential for feelings of grief, or deep sadness in response to something we’ve lost. We often associate grief with the loss of a loved one, but grief can also come with other transitions: leaving university, losing a job, divorce, children leaving home, menopause and retirement qualify as major life transitions. 

These transitions can cause can great turmoil. There are so many aspects of our lives that can be affected: physical, emotional, behavioural, social, confidence, self-perception, worries about how others perceive you, coping with stress & anxiety, dealing with embarrassing and sensitive symptoms, lack of control, tolerance levels,  coping with the feeling you’re not understood/it’s not acceptable to let things affect your work, I’m sure that we can all identify with this in some way or another.

In this episode have the Reverend Mandy Williams and Colette Leleu here to chat to us about some of these changes in life, the impact that can have on the individual and those around them, and to share what help and support there is here in the university. So welcome to a Pinch of SALT once again Mandy & Colette.
