A Different Journey Day

This day will provide understanding, encouragement and support to those who have suffered the death of a partner early in life, whatever the circumstances.
If you have ever felt that no one else understands the loneliness, pain and heartache you feel since your husband or wife died, this day is for you.

You'll find the day is designed to give you comfort - and hope for the future. It also provides an opportunity to meet with other young, widowed people and learn from shared experiences. There will be time to talk, cry, laugh, or just to be quiet.

"It was an oasis at a time of pain and heartache. Meeting with others on the same journey has enriched my own." Comment after A Different Journey event

"... what a relief it has been to able to finally share my thoughts with others and for them to reassure me that it's NORMAL" Comment after A Different Journey event

You’ll discover:

How to deal with emotions such as guilt, anger and despair
Strategies for working through the pain of bereavement and loss
Practical suggestions for coping with difficult times
Support and encouragement from those who understand your heartache
Comfort, hope and a way forward

Steve and Paula Smart will be leading the day. Their first partners died whilst still young and they have a particular concern for those bereaved in these circumstances. They met at an A Different Journey event.
