Bereavement Support

Grief is a natural process, and each person follows their own path in their own time.

Volunteer support to a client’s family can extend beyond the funeral. We also offer bereavement courses for the family, for when the time is right.

We run free structured 8-week bereavement programmes with a professional facilitator, for anyone in Surrey struggling with their grief. These sessions are limited to a maximum of 12 people and will be offered in different parts of Surrey according to need.

The aims of the programme are to:

• Provide focused, structured support
• Encourage mutual support
• Share experiences
• Learn new coping strategies
• Develop new ways of thinking about loss
