Resources

Every person must cope with loss of a loved on his or her own terms.  The emotional upheaval these trying times can cause is sometimes so overwhelming that even the support of friends and family may not help relieve the amount of sadness and grief you feel.

As well as details of grief & healing and helping someone who is bereaved, you will find more beneficial information in our ‘News & Community’ section.

You can also check out the link to Dyingmatters.org an organisation to promote public awareness to help people talk more openly about dying, death and bereavement, and to make plans for the end of life.  It involves a fundamental change in society in which dying, death and bereavement will be seen and accepted as the natural part of everybody’s life cycle.  Changes in the way society views dying and death have impacted on the experience of people who are dying and bereaved.

Dying Matters Coalition is working to address this by encouraging people to talk about their wishes towards the end of their lives, including where they want to die and their funeral plans with friends, family and loved ones.

The website will help you start those conversations.

Talking about dying makes it more likely that you, or your loved one, will die as you might have wished and it will make it easier for your loved ones if they know you have had a ‘good death’.

Please find details below that may help.
