SUMMARY:National Grief Awareness Day
DESCRIPTION:National Grief Awareness Day\, also known as National Bereavement Day\, is recognised annually on August 30th. It was founded in 2014 by Angie Cartwright\, a woman who experienced the loss of many of her loved ones. Its purpose is to raise awareness of the different ways in which grief can manifest in our lives. \nAugust 30th is an opportunity to realize that everyone copes with loss differently and to learn how to help yourself and others through the grieving process. You can observe #NationalGriefAwarenessDay no matter what type of loss you’ve been through. \nSome common reasons people experience grief include: \n\n\nThe death of a loved one \n\n\nA divorce\, breakup\, or other separation \n\n\nGetting fired from a job or losing a promotion \n\n\nLosing one’s business or livelihood \n\n\nLearning about a chronic illness or condition \n\n\nLosing financial stability \n\n\nThe death of a pet \n\n\nImprisonment \n\n\nA child leaving home \n\n\nPregnancy or loss of pregnancy \n\n\nEach of these is a valid reason for grieving. However\, grief can often be hard to understand. National Grief Awareness Day recognizes the challenges of comforting someone in grief and seeks to eliminate barriers that can prevent empathy\, patience\, and understanding. \nIn addition\, National Grief Awareness Day is important because it encourages people everywhere to support themselves and their loved ones through the #Grieving process\, no matter what. By raising awareness about grief with factual information and encouraging open lines of communication\, people everywhere can hope to receive better support\, care\, and comfort as they try to heal. \nSource:  What is National Grief Awareness Day & Why Does it Matter? | BetterHelp

SUMMARY:Blood Cancer Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:September Is Blood Cancer Awareness Month\nWhat do #Leukaemia\, #Lymphoma\, and #Myeloma have in common? They’re all blood cancers. According to the Leukaemia & Lymphoma Society\, more than 1.5 million people today are living with or in remission from blood cancer. \nBlood cancers are a complex group of diseases. Advances in treatment are helping more people live longer after diagnosis. But more than a third of people with blood cancer live fewer than 5 years after diagnosis. \nBut what are the symptoms? Can a test reveal whether you have blood cancer before you even have symptoms? Who’s at risk and what should you discuss with a doctor? \n#BloodCancerAwarenessMonth exists so that more people will learn the answers to these questions. You can help by sharing facts and information online and in your community\, as well as supporting people who are living with blood cancer. \nSource: September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month: Leukemia\, Lymphoma\, Myeloma (healthline.com)

SUMMARY:Positive Thinking Day
DESCRIPTION:Its Positive Thinking Day 🙂 \nNegative thinking has a way of sapping away a person’s self-worth and distorting a person’s view of the world. It also has a tendency of poisoning everything in that person that’s good and decent. Fortunately\, that’s a process that can be stopped with a little bit of positive thinking. Positive thinking\, when properly applied with purpose\, can help a person feel better about themselves and can make them feel like the best version of themselves. And that’s why Positive Thinking Day is such an important day. \n  \nThis unofficial holiday falls on the 13th of September and is designed to help everyone replace their negative thinking with more positive thoughts. \n#BeMorePositive #PositiveThinkingDay

SUMMARY:World Alzheimer's Day
DESCRIPTION:Today is #WorldAlzheimersDay. \nIt’s an international awareness day aimed at reducing the stigma around Alzheimer’s and raising awareness of the disease. \nDid you know that while Alzheimer’s Disease is often associated with ageing\, approximately 1-in-20 people with the disease is under the age of 65? \nGlobally\, dementia is one of the biggest challenges we face\, with nearly 50 million people living with dementia worldwide. To tackle this international dementia challenge\, we need to work together and share best practice with one another. \nWhile Alzheimer’s is a far too common disease among older people\, it is not a normal part of the ageing process\, and any signs of memory loss should be taken seriously. There may be no cure for Alzheimer’s\, but it can be treated to reduce some symptoms. \n#AlzheimersAwareness #MentalHealthAwareness #DementiaAwareness \nSource: NHS \n  \nWorld Alzheimer’s Day | Alzheimer’s Society (alzheimers.org.uk)
