BLOG: My Why: Grief is on the heir

As the UK remains in a period of national mourning following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, there’s a lot we can learn about our own response to it. And what does national mourning actually look like when you swap a Queen for a King?

Whether a monarch, or someone/something else you've lost - it is always good to pause.
