The experience of loss can be painful and distressing, especially the loss of a loved one. It is a process of psychological change – when one’s picture of the world and ways of being in it are often confusing.

Our Bereavement Team is on hand to support family members, friends, children and carers through the emotional turmoil of grief.

There is no set timescale for bereavement and everyone’s experience is different. Whether you need support immediately or in the future - our services are available when the time is right for you and for as long as you need us.

The Bereavement Team can support you by telephone, face-to-face counselling sessions, practical help and advice as well as our Bereavement Support Group. 

We offer specialist bereavement care for children, providing guidance and information about how best to explain death and grief to them and how to support each child or young person through their experience.

The Bereavement Service also organises an annual service whereby bereaved families, friends and carers can remember, reflect upon and celebrate the lives of those they have lost.

Bereavement Support Group

Our Bereavement Support Group helps individuals cope with grief and loss by bringing people together in a safe space to share common life experiences.

This group is for anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one; whether that be a family member or friend. It is a facilitated group and runs for 7 weeks. Meetings are held each Monday morning from 10.30am to 12pm in The Wellbeing Centre.

The Bereavement Support Group provides ongoing help to participants including:

• Hope
• Connection
• Social and peer support
• Insight
• Togetherness
• Sharing

"I just wanted to say a giant thank you. You really have helped me in a way that has changed my life for the better. I’m so grateful for everything you’ve helped me achieve. You really are an angel on earth."
