🎅 We’re dashing for a cause!

On Sunday 7th December 2025, our Liverpool Bereavement Service team and incredible volunteers will be taking part in the Liverpool Santa Dash — raising vital funds to support adults, children, and families coping with grief. 💚

Last year, thanks to your generosity, we smashed our £2,000 target and raised £2,605 — and this year, we’re hoping to go even further!

Every step we take — whether we run, jog, or walk — helps someone feel less alone in their grief. Your donations go directly toward providing free, specialist 1:1 counselling and creative therapies through both our adult service and our Oakleaf support for children and young people. 🌿

🧡 How you can help:
💰 Donate — every pound helps provide vital emotional support.
📣 Share — spread the word to help us reach more people.

💚 This Movember, we’re shining a light on something often left unspoken — men’s grief.

Many men are taught to stay strong, to “keep it together,” to be the one everyone else leans on.
But when we lose someone we love, silence can make the weight of grief even heavier.

Grief doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human.
Talking about loss — whether with a friend, family member, or counsellor — is a sign of courage, not failure.

At Liverpool Bereavement Service, we’re here to offer a space where men can talk openly, without judgement, and at their own pace. 🌿

It’s okay to talk.
It’s okay to feel.
And it’s okay to ask for help. 💚

🕯️ Did you know? Today marks Día de los Mu***os — the Day of the Dead — a beautiful tradition celebrated across Mexico and Latin America.

It’s a time to remember and celebrate loved ones who have passed — through stories, photos, music, and shared meals. 💜

Though grief looks different across cultures, the heart of it is the same: love, remembrance, and connection.

However you choose to honour your loved ones today — whether through reflection, ritual, or simply holding them in your thoughts — your way of remembering matters. 🌼

🎃 Did you know? Halloween’s roots reach far beyond pumpkins and costumes — for many, it began as a time to remember and honour those who’ve passed.

It’s said the veil between worlds grows thin, helping us feel a little closer to loved ones we’ve lost. 🕯️

Whether you’re carving a pumpkin, lighting a candle, or simply thinking of someone special tonight — every act of remembering is an act of love. 💚

If this time of year stirs feelings of grief or reflection, please know you’re not alone — we’re here to listen. 🌿 www.liverpoolbereavementservice.org.uk

💚 As the nights draw in, this time of year often brings memories of those we’ve lost.

The change in season — the falling leaves, the quiet evenings — can stir feelings of grief, love, and remembrance.

You’re not alone in feeling that mix of sadness and warmth. It’s a reminder of how deeply we’ve loved, and how that love still lives within us. 🌿

If this season feels heavy, reach out — our counsellors are here to listen.

Today is World Menopause Day — a reminder that grief isn’t always about death.

Sometimes, it’s about the quiet changes we go through as life shifts around us and within us. For many, menopause brings a deep sense of invisible grief: grief for a changing body, for fertility, for youth, or for parts of identity that once felt certain.

These feelings are valid, and they deserve to be spoken about with compassion and understanding. At Liverpool Bereavement Service, we recognise that loss takes many forms — not all of them visible. 💛

💚 Your donation makes a difference — right here in Liverpool.

At Liverpool Bereavement Service counsellors, every penny you give helps someone find light in their darkest moments.

It costs around £50 to provide one counselling session — whether that’s for an adult, a grieving parent, or a child through our Oakleaf service for young people.

Every session matters. Every pound helps keep our doors open, our rooms warm, and our lights on — so we can continue to offer free, specialist bereavement support for anyone in Liverpool who needs it.

Our counsellors are highly trained volunteers who give their time, compassion, and expertise freely. Many are qualified therapists, counsellors in advanced training, or professionals with years of experience.

They’re the heart of what we do — supporting clients through our:

🌿 Adult Service
💛 Baby and Child Loss Service
☘️ Oakleaf Children & Young People’s Service

Each person who walks through our doors is carefully matched with a counsellor best suited to their needs — whether that’s someone experienced with child loss, trauma, neurodiversity, or long-term grief.

We’re so proud to be able to offer this work free of charge, but we can only do it with your help.

If you can, please consider donating today to help us continue offering care, compassion, and hope to our city.

💚 Thank you for helping us keep this vital service free for Liverpool.

💚 National Grief Awareness Day – August 30th

Grief touches every one of us. Whether your loss is recent or years ago, whether it’s a parent, child, partner, friend, or someone else you loved — your grief matters.

Today, on National Grief Awareness Day, we pause to remind our community:
🌱 There is no timeline for grief.
🌱 Every loss is unique.
🌱 You don’t have to carry it alone.

At Liverpool Bereavement Service, we provide free, compassionate 1:1 counselling for children, young people, and adults. Through our Oakleaf service, we also walk alongside children and young people navigating grief, loss, or separation.

If today feels heavy, know that support is here — and that your grief is valid, whatever form it takes. 💚

💬 What is Grief Counselling — and Who is it For?

At LBS, we offer a calm, safe space to talk through your grief — in your own words, in your own time. 💚 You don’t need to have “the right words” or to have experienced a recent loss. Grief can stay with us for weeks, months, or decades.

We support:
🌿 Adults, children, and young people aged 4–90+.
🌿 Those who have lost a partner, parent, child, friend, or someone else important to them.
🌿 People navigating baby and child loss, miscarriage, or IVF loss.
🌿 Those who are neurodiverse and may experience grief differently.

Our volunteer counsellors are trained in Person-Centred Therapy, CBT, EMDR, and other approaches, so they can walk with you through the complex and changing emotions of loss.

💚 Grief doesn’t follow a timeline — and neither do we.

💬 Some weeks we carry more than others.

What’s one word that describes how you’re feeling today? No explanation needed — just one word.

It’s a small way to check in with yourself, and with this community.

💙 A New Ground, A Familiar Grief, A New Chapter for Everton fans

This weekend marks a new chapter for Everton fans as the club hosts its final test event at Hill Dickinson Stadium — a historic moment filled with pride, hope… and for some, deep sadness.

For many, Goodison Park wasn’t just a ground. It was where memories were made, generations bonded, and loved ones laughed, cried, and celebrated together. Some may have ashes scattered or plaques placed at Goodison. Some may be lucky enough to have their person honoured at the new ground. But for others, this move is a painful reminder of who’s no longer here to make that walk with them.

⚽️ This matchday might feel heavier than usual.

And that’s okay.

💭 You might be thinking of the dad who took you to your first match, the grandparent you sat beside in the stands, the sibling or friend who lived and breathed blue.

Your grief is real. Your sadness is valid. This new journey doesn’t erase the old — it carries it forward. With every step, every cheer, every tear… they’re still with you.

Be gentle with yourself. Honour their memory in your own way. And if today feels heavy — you don’t have to carry it alone. 💙
