Grief is not a disorder, a disease or sign of weakness. It is an emotional, physical and spiritual necessity, the price you pay for love. The only cure for grief is to grieve. - Earl Grollman #grief #grieving #psychology #griefjourney #griefawareness

'There is no excuse' is the tldr from this typically good read from Prof Chris Hatton on the issue of involving people in research. #LearningDisability communitylivingmagazine.com/chris-hatton...

Chris Hatton: we have the evidence – let's see action on doing research
We know people should be involved in research that affects them and studies show there's no good reason to exclude them. So why aren't those funding and organising research taking note?
