Bereavement support

Many older people have experienced loneliness and isolation during the pandemic and the death of a loved one may have added to these difficult feelings.

Bereavement support groups create a compassionate community where participants feel supported in a safe and non-judgemental environment of their peers.  

Our group is open to anyone aged over 50 who has recently lost a loved one or has suffered a bereavement in the past and is still finding it hard to come to terms with their loss.

We meet on a regular basis to help individuals come to terms with their loss and learn new ways of coping. Those taking part can develop their own understanding and self-compassion by learning to offer and receive support from others.  

If you feel that you would benefit from meeting others in a similar situation as yourself and share your experience, please call us on 0191 374 6570 or send an email to wellbeing@ageukcountydurham.org.uk
