Bereavement team

In bereavement your family and loved ones will continue to be supported if they so wish.

Support is offered by trained volunteers, our chaplain or social workers as appropriate. One to one support is offered either at home or at the Hospice. There are bereavement support groups running throughout the year led by one of our team. Some people find them very helpful as they enable people in similar situations to come together. Family support can also be initiated during the patient’s illness by referral to the Bereavement team who will appoint a specialist children’s worker to support you and your child(ren).

The Department of Work and Pensions has a specialist department which offers help and support they can be contacted on the following numbers:
