Bereavement and 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.Â
