Bereavement
The Bereavement Journey
The Bereavement Journey is a series of films and discussion groups that gently guide people bereaved at any time through the most common aspects of grief and bereavement, enabling them to process the implications for themselves and discern next steps.
The course uniquely offers a final session on faith questions in bereavement, provided from a Christian perspective. This follows the main sessions and is optional, making The Bereavement Journey suitable for people of any faith or none.
Topics include:
Attachment, separation and loss | The impact and pain of bereavement | Anger and guilt | Coping with others' reactions | Adjusting to change | Delayed and suppressed grief | Moving forward healthily.
We will be running a course at St Stephen’s in the Autumn term.

People grieve the loss of a loved one in different ways. Some need immediate support, while others may find feelings surface later. These are two organisations that can help you come to terms with your loss over time.

Child Bereavement UK
Child Bereavement UK helps families to rebuild their lives when a child grieves or when a child dies. We support children and young people (up to the age of 25) when someone important to them has died or is not expected to live, and parents and the wider family when a baby or child of any age dies or is dying.
They provide training to professionals in health and social care, education, the emergency services and the voluntary and corporate sectors, equipping them to provide the best possible care to bereaved families. Visit childbereavementuk.org
