Bereavement Support
Support for carers you can rely on at a difficult and emotional time
Losing someone you care about can be very difficult. As a carer, you may find an extra level to your grief, as you also deal with your caring role coming to an end.
It’s important to remember that everyone deals with loss in their own way, and there is no right or wrong way with grieve. We are here to support you through your loss and to think about life after caring, when you’re ready to do so. You can continue to receive support through our carer service for 3 months following your bereavement. After this time, our bereavement support service is here for you!
Bereaved carers can access our bereavement support for three years following the loss of their loved one.

Our Bereaved Carers Support Group
Meeting on the second last Friday of every month, from 10:30 until 12pm in Sycamore House
Our bereaved carers support group is a great way to talk through your grief with fellow carers going through the same thing. It’s a relaxed and friendly setting, open to all to come along.
Whether you prefer to just listen, or talk through any of your problems, you’re welcome along either way.
