Bereavement is never an easy experience for any person or family. When someone you care about dies, even if it was expected, it is often hard to take in.

You may find that everything seems unreal, you may respond to things in an unusual way - feeling numb, bewildered and lost. There are many decisions and arrangements to make in a short space of time. This can also be difficult. 

We hope you find the following local support links helpful.
