Grief Support

DJM Robinson-logo2

Family & Friends

Your family will be your closest supporters during the grieving process. They will also be grieving so it is helpful to have some close friends to depend on as well. The acute sense of loss and feelings of overwhelming sadness, along with other associated emotions, are collectively called grief.

Forms Of Grief

There are many stages in the grieving process and each person’s experience will be different. Generally there are a number of steps in coming to terms with the death of a loved one. Find out more >

If the feelings of acute sadness and desolation you felt in the early stages do not lessen over an extended period of time, it is important to talk to your G.P. or a Bereavement Counsellor who will be able to help.
