Grief Awareness Week
This week sees an awareness and focus on grief and bereavement.
As Funeral Directors we are often the first to witness the grief of others outside of their family.
Although we can never take away the emotion or begin to understand the depth of individual grief, we are here to help make sense of all the questions that you may have towards the funeral and getting that just right for you.
After the funeral has taken place, we believe this is just the beginning of the true grief journey, you’ve done all you can to make the physical farewell special, it is then when you have time for you and time to deal with the emotional and spiritual journey of healing.
Through our association with SAIF independent funeral directors we can offer each of our families and clients the ability to seek confidential advice and talking therapy through SAIF Care just a little support to start the healing and we can also help signpost you to local bereavement support groups.
At this time of the year, Christmas comes whether we are ready to face it or not, we realise this can be tough for everyone who has been bereaved, this may not be the first Christmas, it may be the twentieth and it’s ok to be sad when all around are making merry. We hold an annual carol service dedicated to those we have cared for and hope our community feel this is a safe space to reflect and join others who may be feeling similar emotions.
However Grief Awareness Week finds you, know we are here to be with you and walk alongside you, with Care, Respect and Compassion 🌙🎩
