In our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive care and support to our community, we have developed a leaflet designed to signpost our patients to guidance and support which will help those navigating the difficult journey of bereavement. This initiative comes from a deep understanding of the complex emotions and challenges faced by those who have lost a loved one, recognizing that the path to healing requires more than just medical attention—it needs compassionate, informed support.
This initiative was born out of conversations with patients and their families, as well as insights from our healthcare professionals who frequently witness the impacts of loss. Recognizing that family members will not always be aware of what will happen in the first few days following the loss of a loved one we developed a comprehensive guide that addresses the information needed in the immediate and long-term. It also provides information on local support groups and services that can offer additional help and companionship through these challenging times.
We believe that support in times of loss is crucial to the health and wellbeing of our community. As such, we’ve made this leaflet easily accessible to everyone. It can be found on our website under the Well Being Section, within the Bereavement subsection. We encourage not only those who are currently experiencing grief but also anyone who wishes to be better prepared to support others, to download and read this resource.
In addition to the online version, printed copies of the leaflet are available at our practice. We invite anyone who feels they might benefit from this resource to pick up a copy during their next visit.
We want to ensure that no one in our community has to navigate their grief journey alone.
For more information, to download the leaflet, or to learn about additional support resources, please visit our website and navigate to the Wellbeing Section, under the Bereavement subsection. Our doors are always open to support you during these challenging times.
