I'm down South clearing out my late parents' home. My parents lived in this house since it was a new build in 1955. I'm not usually a sentimental person but it feels odd that when I leave I will probably never go back to this house. I was brought up in this house and have returned on frequent visits throughout my adult life.

Now I am sorting out what few things to keep, what goes to a charity shop and what to the recycling centre. My brother, who lives close by has already sold anything worth much on eBay. The house is currently being sold and the buyer is hoping to beat the Stamp Duty increase, so if all goes well it will soon be sold. As I now live a long way north I won't be visiting again once I leave.

Hi guys, if you are suffering with this I hope you can access good support.

These posts are a massive simplification of course, there is no summarizing this in 4 slides, it's just intended to point out a possible path.

There are free support groups online too, so much more accessible these days. David Kessler has got lots of resources @iamdavidkessler both paid and free for bereaved people.

I just want to say that continuing bonds is a secular idea, it can be spiritual or aspiritual, you can, for example, believe in the soul of a person staying with you, or you can hold onto the impression they have made in your heart and the impact they have had on you and hold that with you; you can find the way of keeping them with you that is true and real for you.

In Ireland:

you can free call the Samaritans at any time on 116 123 at any time if you need someone to listen. You can also email them if you prefer, jo@samaritans.ie

Irish Hospice foundation have a helpline for bereavement support which runs from 10am to 1pm on weekdays, it's 1800 80 70 77

Academic stuff:

A study finding 93% of ADHDers had insecure attachment:
