Further guidance

Supporting families of all ages

Children and adults can experience loss in different ways. We can talk with you about age-appropriate support and help you explore further resources when needed.

Bereavement Support

Grief affects everyone differently, and there is no single way or timetable for coming to terms with the death of someone close to you.

Talking with trusted family members or friends can help. You may also find comfort in speaking with a bereavement counsellor or a specialist support organisation.

Organisations such as Cruse Bereavement Support offer information and support for people experiencing grief.

Practical Guidance

Following a funeral, there may still be practical matters to attend to. These can include notifying relevant organisations, reviewing financial arrangements and dealing with an estate.

The government’s What to do after someone dies guidance provides information about the steps that may be necessary.

For legal or financial matters, you may wish to seek advice from an appropriately qualified professional.

Remembering a Loved One

Finding meaningful ways to remember someone can bring comfort in the months and years following their death.

You might create a photograph album or memory box, share stories with family and friends, plant something in their memory or mark special anniversaries in a personal way.

There is no right or wrong way to remember someone. What matters is finding something that feels meaningful to you and your family.
