Bereavement and grief

Grieving is a natural and normal process. It’s not an illness, although it can make you feel ill. It won’t last forever, although there may be times when it seems like it will. There’s no right way to grieve, and we each react in our own way.

Cruse Bereavement can provide emotional support to help you through the more difficult days. The National Bereavement Service can advise on practical, emotional and legal support. For specialist support with child loss, contact Child Bereavement UK.
