Suicide Bereavement Support Service

The loss of a loved one through sudden unexplained death and suicide is a uniquely devastating circumstance. It can create a particularly complex set of feelings in those left behind and leave us with unanswered questions which are hard to resolve. We can help you find the path to the right support, understanding and help with your grieving process and bereavement.

Our Suicide Bereavement Service is available to families, friends, colleagues, neighbours; anyone living in Shropshire Telford & Wrekin who feels affected by a suicide. We offer practical and emotional support to help manage the grieving process, we can support people to manage the procedures that take place after a suicide and we can signpost to any other support that someone may feel they need, including counselling.

It is not a time limited service – people access our help when they feel that they need it.

Our Bereavement Support Officer says; ‘I consider it a privilege to support people during traumatic, distressing and life changing circumstances.
