Have you been referred by your GP?
We know that a lot of people are introduced to us by their doctor or healthcare worker.
If your GP has sent you to us because you’re struggling with grief, we are sorry for your loss. You're in the right place. They may have suggested you need grief counselling - we find many people just need some reassurance that the way they are feeling is normal. Have a look at the stories and information here, and if you do need more help, we're here.
-
Am I normal?
We answer some of the most common questions and concerns people have about how they feel when they are grieving.

How long does grief last?
People often ask us 'when will the pain stop?' But the truth is there are no set stages or time limits to grief.

Understanding the five stages of grief
You might have heard of the five stages. But what are they, and does grief really follow a set timeframe?
