Bereavement affects everyone and can have a devastating effect on emotional, physical and mental health. Cruse support helps people understand their feelings, develop coping strategies, and return to every-day life, while remembering and celebrating the lives of those who have died.
Our Helpline volunteers answer calls from people as they take the brave step reach out for help, often for the first time.
As a trained bereavement volunteer, you could be offering ongoing help to adults, children and young people individually or in groups.
"People who are grieving welcome someone asking them about the person that has died, and how they are feeling about it. It’s almost like it’s on the tip of their tongue. I think for a lot of people it’s just about being able to tell that story, and having the space to be able to do that, which is what Cruse offers."
