These one-off sessions are intended for adults who are newly bereaved, in the first 3 months of bereavement. The session offers guidance and understanding to help you navigate your thoughts and feelings in these difficult early moments of grief.
Losing a loved one often brings distress with intense, overwhelming thoughts and feelings and often a sense that we are not coping.
We offer a short presentation about grief and how it may manifest within you and your daily living, along with some guidance on how to care for yourself.
It is a safe space where you may also feel able to share your experiences with others who are on a similar journey.
Sessions are offered bi-monthly at Priscilla Bacon Lodge. It is free to attend and you do not need to have had previous contact with the hospice.
Please email the Bereavement Counselling Team to book your place: [email protected]
UPDATE: This event is now fully booked.

The numerous obstacle courses made it feel like we weren’t running 5 kilometres. After our team regrouped at the finish line, we agreed that we would have to do this again next year!”
