Loneliness & Isolation
It can be difficult to face the world after the loss of a loved one. Staying at home can feel the safest way to get through your pain. Fear of publicly breaking down or feeling numb are all very normal and common feelings when you have suffered a bereavement.
Studies have shown that isolation can actually deepen your feelings of sadness and can be detrimental to your mental health. Meeting others who are experiencing similar feelings can be a positive step in your healing journey.

Many people during their grief can forget to look after themselves. Eating healthily, staying hydrated, taking regular exercise and sleeping well are all essential to keeping your body & mind fit and healthy. We understand that when you've suffered such heartbreak looking after yourself isn't always easy.
We aim to help support our clients to keep themselves as healthy as possible whilst they come to terms with their loss.
