Depression in older adults is often mistaken for ageing, yet it is deeply tied to grief, declining health, and shifting roles. Many seniors carry losses in silence, unsure how to speak about sadness or change. Understanding these signs allows us to respond with compassion. Ageing well is not about staying cheerful, but about making space for grief, connection, and renewed meaning.

Losing a child is an unpredictable journey. Seek support, navigate emotions, and honour love as you find strength in grief.

The holidays can intensify grief, but they also hold space for healing, reflection, and honoring what remains.
