A man from Bridgend was struggling heavily with the pain of losing his dad in February, 2019. Rob Lester, 49, was determined not to be consumed by the feeling, but found it very confronting to tackle grief head on.
“Grief can affect you in lots of different ways, it can be from moving, or job loss, or a relationship as well as death and it was very hard,“ Rob explained. "And we do need to get better at talking about it.
"How do I feel now? I still miss him and think he's an amazing man, and that will not change. There are moments where I think about something he did or something that reminds me of him and I might sit and reflect on that or sometimes get more emotional, but I've learned how to separate that now with other parts of my life."
