Grief doesn’t end with the first goodbye.”

After the death of someone we love, we often experience secondary grief — the ripple effect of additional losses that touch many areas of life. These can be just as impactful and long-lasting as the primary loss, leaving us feeling unsettled, isolated or unsure of ourselves.

Our one-off Ripples of Grief – Secondary Grief Support Group at Longfield Community Hospice offers a safe, supportive space to explore these feelings in confidence, with others who understand.

This support group is free of charge for adults (18+) who have been bereaved for more than 8 weeks and are registered with a GP in Gloucestershire.

Find out more, or pass on to someone who you think might benefit from this supportive group session.

Book now for December 3rd

Wow, look at the amazing poppies in the Tewkesbury shop for Remembrance week.

Over 700 were kindly created by shop volunteers and friends. Pop by to take a look, as it was hard to capture the full glory by phone.

We are so proud of all the hard work that goes into our windows..
