Most people have no idea how bad the UK doctor training system really is. It demands double the training time of other countries, pays doctors less at every stage, and then often keeps them “junior” even after they finish all their training. Look at the numbers. 🧵⬇️

Reflection 5: Talk about it.

Reflection 4: We need support and connection.

Reflection 3: Acknowledge your feelings and express them.

Reflection 2: Grief has no set timeline. From this year's 100 word project, we have learnt that there is no set timeline for grief and that the healing process takes time and fluctuates. #100wp #100wordproject #griefandloss #grieftakestime

From this year’s #100wd we’ve learnt so much about grief. Over the next few days, I will be reflecting on the common themes which came across throughout the project. Reflection 1: Grieving is not a one size fits all experience - everyone has a unique journey grieving.

On this final day of the 100word project, I share my reflections on grief . It has been an immense privilege to receive your stories of resilience, hope, and healing. Thank you for trusting me with your experiences. Here’s what I’ve learned along my journey. @Mwawasimkamwasi

"Prayer helps. God has answered my prayers in His time to help me have peace about my father's destination." #prayerworks #remembering

Day 99/100 You have all been so generous with your experiences that on day 99, we have three different stories

Day 99/100 "Your loved ones want you to remember them positively but also move past it well" #remembering

" There's never been a strategy apart from allowing the pain of losing a loved one to express itself in any form it meeds to. Not suppressing painful emotions to fester." #feelyourfeelings #expressyourself

Day 98/100 " Sometimes, acceptance isn’t the final stage of grief—it’s the first." #griefandloss #acceptance #100wordproject

Day 96/100 “Therapy helped and listening to a lot of podcasts and music to temporarily distract myself from the pain.” #100wordproject #griefandloss #coping #therapy

Day 95/100 “ I have a statement... I am where my feet are. “ #stayingpresent #griefandloss #coping #100wordproject

Day 94/100 "Being part of a community, especially one that understands what you’re going through is very important to cope with grief. A community where you can talk about them, or just sit in silence, or cry. That’s the best strategy." #griefandloss #coping #100wordproject

Day 93/100 " My advice would be to allow yourself to feel all the pain and talk to someone, spend time with the people you love. " #100wordproject #griefandloss #coping

Day 92/100 "It definitely doesn’t get easier… you just get stronger and learning to push through life without them." #100wordproject #griefandloss #coping

Day 90/100 " I have come to realize that crying is a window to let an overwhelming emotion empty itself, somehow. We cry when we are happy, sad, grieving and for so many other reasons. Crying will always heal. Though slow, but progressive" #100wordproject #cryandletitout

Day 89/100 "I have learned to listen, to empathise and to be present. I have prioritised to care, show up and to love the people important to me. " #griefandloss #100wordproject
