Group Grief Support

It’s common to want to hide our hurt from others, or to feel that our grief is too personal to share, too much for other people to hear. Sometimes what we’re carrying is guilt or anger rather than simple sadness. Left unspoken, these feelings can lead to isolation.

Talking about your experience—and listening to others talk about theirs—helps you see that what you’re feeling is a normal response to loss.

Our bereavement group progamme is facilitated by Rachael, a trained volunteer, who gently guides you through the grief process to help you process your own grief in safe and supportive environment.

You’re free to share your story in your own time, in an environment with no pressure to talk and no pressure to ‘move on’. You’re just as welcome to simply listen, and to hear how others are getting through each day.

What our bereavement group programme offers

• A safe, non-judgmental space to be yourself.
• A sense of belonging that eases the isolation grief can bring.
• Support in working through the situations and problems grief creates.
• The chance to begin healing by sharing your story and hearing others’.

• Strength and hope drawn from people who understand what you’re going through.
• Friendships that often become some of the most meaningful in people’s lives.
