AFTER-FUNERAL CARE
After the funeral the real work of grieving and mourning begins. Grieving for a lost one can be a very long, painful and arduous journey. We are more than aware that people need support over a long period of time as they learn to come to terms with life without their loved one and the painful feelings this brings.

It can be very comforting and helpful to talk through your feelings with others who are going through the same thing. To this end we run three Bereavement Support Groups, two of which meet fortnightly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 12.45 p.m. and 2.00 p.m. in the St. Giles Centre and the third meets on Sunday evenings between 7.45 p.m. and 9.00 p.m. (this group is specifically for people who have lost their partners at an early age). |
The main Bereavement Groups are open to all people irrespective of the type of loss they have experienced and although they are run by the Church membership of the Church, belief or faith is not a pre-requisite for attendance. Members are entitled to stay as long as it is helpful but people often leave when they have worked through their initial feelings following the death of a loved one. This can take anything from one to three years. If you would like to attend please contact the Rector
We will also write to you to remind you of our groups directly after the funeral.
If groups seem daunting then the clergy are available for individual meetings so you can talk through your feelings
