By Matthew McKenzie, A Caring Mind

This week, we come together to recognise something deeply human, yet often hidden: grief and the people who carry it long after the world has moved on.

I’ve created a short video exploring the emotional reality of bereavement, with a special focus on unpaid carers. These are the people who quietly give their time, energy, and love to support someone through illness… and who are often left to grieve in silence when that journey ends.

My hope is that this helps spark conversations, reduce stigma, and remind anyone grieving that you are not alone.
