Bereavement & Loss

Going through bereavement and loss is very difficult, and feelings such as loneliness can be overwhelming. There are also a number of health implications and mental health issues that can arise from the trauma. Working during these times is especially difficult, as people often try to put on a brave face and suffer in silence. Although our supports networks are useful, sometimes external help can make the difference.

Below you will find multiple charities, resources and guidance for going through bereavement and loss.
