Bereavement entails profound emotional and physical repercussions. Grief, diverse in its manifestations, results in isolation, loneliness, anxiety, and depression; sometimes becoming prolonged grief disorder or complicated grief which is when intense, long-lasting symptoms of grief, together with ongoing problems and difficulties in coping with life, go on for more than six months after a loss. In children and youth, bereavement can leave lasting physical and mental effects that span a lifetime.

We provide free specialised bereavement care in Wyre Forest for those who've experienced loss in the past 5 years or are connected to hospice patients facing imminent loss. Our services, including peer support, one-on-one counselling, location-specific aid (e.g., school visits), and free individual support for ages 5+, aim to make assistance accessible to everyone. We ensure no one faces grief alone by offering professionals' guidance on healthy coping mechanisms and improved mental health.
