Coping with grief

You may feel a number of things immediately after someone close to you dies. We look at some of the most common emotions, including shock, anger, guilt and longing.

People often ask us how long their grief will last, but the truth is there is no set time limit to grief.

Across England, Wales and Northern Ireland our trained bereavement volunteers offer support to adults and children. Our local services provide free and confidential phone and face to face support to bereaved people.
