Our thoughts are with those affected by Nice terror attacks

Submitted by Kate on Fri, 07/15/2016 - 09:26

Once again our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the people of France following the attack in Nice – those who died, those who have lost loved ones, those who were injured and those who witnessed the attacks.

The attacks may also have triggered memories for those bereaved in other situations. Everyone’s experience is unique but no-one needs face the trauma alone. Cruse Bereavement Care provides somewhere to turn, through our national helpline and network of local services across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, in the days, weeks and months ahead.
