Bereavement Support Group
It can be a devastating experience when a
husband or wife dies, when a child loses a parent or a parent loses a child. 
Nothing remains untouched and the bereaved face the daunting task of coping
with their feelings and the challenge of beginning a new life without their
lost loved-one.
Nothing remains untouched and the bereaved face the daunting task of coping
with their feelings and the challenge of beginning a new life without their
lost loved-one.Bereavement brings with it many bewildering
emotions which can sometimes be too painful to discuss with ones family and
friends. A trained, uninvolved listener can offer a sympathetic ear and help the
bereaved to acknowledge and cope with these feelings.
The aim of The Bereavement Support Group is
to offer compassionate support by contacting every newly bereaved member of our
Synagogue during the difficult time shortly after the initial period of mourning.
If required, one of our trained and experienced visitors will arrange to meet
the bereaved person, usually in there own home, on a regular basis for an
agreed period.
Members who have suffered a loss some time
ago are welcome to contact the group for support.
A
strict code of confidentiality will be
observed at all times.
