When a death
occurs among your family or friends, this can be a huge trigger for your mental
health and general well-being to slowly decline. Everybody deals with grief
differently, but finding the right kind of support is key to adjusting to your
loss and understanding the emotional changes that you are experiencing.
Bereavement
charities help thousands of individuals and families every year, by offering a
range of services and a supportive network that you can benefit from. Here are
four bereavement charities to look out for.
Every year
Marie Curie helps families experiencing life limiting and terminal conditions
such as advanced cancer, neurological diseases and dementia. They offer
pre-bereavement support as well as free ongoing help once your loved one has
passed on, with trained volunteers offering a safe space to discuss your
feelings.
Not all
deaths are expected and sudden death as a result of suicide, undiagnosed
illnesses or traffic accidents can be difficult to comprehend. Sudden is a
charity that offers practical and emotional support, for example, help with
registering a death as well as dealing with the emotions you are feeling. Their
trained support workers can offer help to bereaved adults and children.
Aiming to
support grieving parents and children, Child Bereavement UK helps families find
the right kind of support. You can find online resources, events, helplines and
nearby support networks that can help you or other members of your family.
WAY is a UK
charity that offers a peer-to-peer support network for anyone who’s lost a
partner before their 51st birthday. With over 3,000 members across the UK,
their supportive network offers online support including Facebook groups and
meetups. They believe that talking and socialising with those in similar
situations can
be a lifeline when you’re adjusting to life after loss.
