Losing a grandparent
The death of a grandparent can affect multiple generations within a family, even though this type of bereavement can be seen as a normal part of our lives and getting older.
What bereavement support do Sue Ryder offer?
Here, we explain what bereavement support Sue Ryder provides to help you when you are grieving and how to access it.
Grieving for a public figure
When a public figure dies, the news can elicit a range of emotions. You may feel a deep sense of loss if they were someone you admire, or you might find that their death brings feelings of your own grief to the surface again.
Grief support groups
Grief support groups can provide a source of comfort and friendship, at a time when you may feel more alone than ever.
