Bereavement is a very individual experience and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Coping with the death of a loved one can be a painful and difficult time, when unexpected thoughts and feelings may cause distress or confusion.
Following a death, the support of friends and family is often all that is needed, but there may also be times when you can feel emotionally overwhelmed which can cause everyday life to feel harder to cope with and this is where the bereavement service can offer you appropriate support.
Sometimes bereaved people find they really miss the support they received when their loved one was being cared for either in the hospice or at home. The bereavement support service aims to provide a safe confidential space within which people can explore their grief and feelings and discuss any concerns they may have. One of the intentions is that, with bereavement support, those struggling with their grief can move forward into a positive and healthy future.
