Bereavement Support

The experience of grief can be overwhelming and often confusing, particularly in the early weeks and months following a significant loss or change. The important thing to remember is that everyone experiences grief in their own way and your grief is unique to you.

​

Whilst these emotions may feel extreme and chaotic, they are usually a normal reaction to a significant loss and will subside over time as life grows around the grief. Recognizing and perhaps understanding what is being experienced may alleviate some of the stress related to grief. There are a number of helpful resources available. However, sometimes professional services is required. Please do not be afraid to ask for help.

​

 Remember we are always here to talk to and although we are not health care professionals we may be your first point of contact. Your General Practitioner may also be a good starting point, as they will also check for any other underlining issues that maybe contributing to your wellbeing. They will also be able to direct you to relevant professionals who specialise in Loss and Grief.
