As part of National Grief Awareness Week, Willowbrook Hospice are proud to be working with St. Helens Crematorium and St. Helens Libraries to offer bereavement cafés which gives anyone in the community the opportunity to share their experiences of grief and loss in an informal, friendly environment.
Here at St Wilfrid’s Hospice we offer information and support to those bereaved within our community.
We acknowledge that friends and family cannot take away the pain of losing someone close to you, but they can offer a listening ear over a cup of coffee which can help in a small way.
To read more about Bereavement support that we offer, visit our website https://www.stwhospice.org/our-care/family-services/bereavement/

Taking place from 2-8 December, National Grief Awareness Week 2023 centres on the theme of #BetterTogether and aspires to connect communities through shared activities, fostering supportive conversations, compassion and understanding.
Events like this are so important to get people talking and to remove some of the taboo around death, dying, bereavement and grief. https://loom.ly/vYeAc6Q
To mark #NationalGriefAwarenessWeek our end-of-life SWAN team will be hosting bereavement cafés across our sites and the wider community to offer support and signpost to services available to those dealing with grief and loss. A private space is also available at each location.💙

#GriefAwarenessWeek The Good Grief Trust Simon Says Child Bereavement Support
The bereaved often have to hide their grief from others. Sometimes it is from their friends and family as they do not want to burden them. Sometimes it is from their colleagues at work. Please look out for them, check they are okay, in the early days and ongoing. They may look alright, they may be going to work, but deep inside they could be struggling and just need your support and understanding
Download our campaign posters and logos here.We are often afraid to mention the person's name who has died. We think we will upset our friend or family member, but it is generally the opposite. By saying their name, remembering them and talking about them, you are helping to share your love and affection for that person. This is very important and will help those grieving to know that you will help to keep their memory alive.
Download our campaign posters and logos here.Grief does not discriminate. We will all be affected by a bereavement. Children, young people, the older generation, all faiths, all religions, all cultures, all sectors of our community will grieve. We need to help all minority groups who are often stigmatised to #OpenUpToGrief and help to support anyone, anywhere who needs help.
Download our campaign posters and logos here.There is a myth that you 'get over' grief. That you 'move on'. You don't. You move forward with your grief, but you may be affected by a bereavement throughout your whole life. Often after the funeral, people leave and things go 'back to normal'. This is the time when the bereaved most need support, when they feel alone and isolated. We need to understand that there are triggers that may come from nowhere that will affect them in the weeks, months and years after the death.
