At times, you may need round the clock care that can be provided on the In Patient Unit.
We rely on the support of the community to enable us to continue caring for patients and to support their families and loved ones. It costs £16,500 a day to run our services. Your support makes a huge difference.
When someone is grieving, especially if it is their first experience of the death of someone close to them, not knowing what to expect or how to handle certain situations often intensifies their grief. Many people say they feel they have little control over what is happening to them or around them, which adds to their anguish.
No two people will experience loss in the same way, so it is impossible to really know another person’s pain or sense of loss. Even if you have experienced the death of other people in your life, your grief may be different each time. Part of the struggle of grieving involves attending to life changes and adjusting to new roles and relationships.
Factors that may influence grief include managing other losses in your life, your relationship with the person who died, and your own resilience at the time.
If you are struggling to know what to say and how to comfort a family member, friend, colleague, or acquaintance, we have put together this short resource to give you suggestions of helpful things to say, and how to say them.
Every loss is a very personal experience and no two people experience loss in the same way. Many people find it helps to talk with someone who is not part of their family or close circle of friends.
Our free and confidential service is made up of a small team of qualified counsellors, an administrator, volunteer counsellors, and student counsellors on placement.
This support can be an opportunity to talk in confidence about the impact of your bereavement, with the support focused on you managing your grief.
Part of the struggle of grieving involves attending to life changes and adjusting to new roles and relationships. Even though you may never manage to ‘get over’ the death of someone, it is possible to learn to live without them physically in your life and to find meaning again.
The Community Bereavement Service is available to adults and children of all ages in need of support, whilst coming to terms with the death of a relative or friend. All support is person centred and non-directive and can provide an opportunity to talk in confidence about the consequences and impact of the bereavement. Many people find it helps to talk with someone who will be able to listen to your personal experience, who is not part of their family or close circle of friends.
We can also support adults by providing information and resources to help them talk with children and young people about the bereavement. We can work closely with parents and carers to support children and young people, as you may be best placed in helping them through their emotions.
After an initial assessment, you may be offered some of the following support. All of our services are free of charge.
