Introduction to supporting loss, grief and bereavement
This session is suitable for anyone who in their work/volunteering, need guidance in how to support others affected by a bereavement.
They are specifically for those in the Tarporley and surrounding areas. (West Cheshire)
Grief is a normal, natural response to loss and bereavement that everyone will experience at some point in their life. Many of us however, have a very limited understanding of how grief can affect our feelings, thoughts, behaviours and physical health.
The aim of this information session is to give professionals, volunteers and staff within support organisations, a better understanding of this issue and to offer advice and tips on how to support someone through their grief.

Grieving when caring ends
For former carers, grief can be made more complex by the dual losses of the person and their role as a carer.
The session gives former carers a better understanding of the grieving process and an understanding of normal grief and when support may be required.
