The death of a family member or friend is a traumatic experience and many people, be it immediately, or even some time after the event, have difficulty coming to terms with such a loss.

Our commitment to care continues even after the funeral. With the self-help support groups we run you can attend and meet with others who have experienced a similar loss and know something of what you are going through.
