Bereavement Counselling

Bereavement is the time we spend adjusting to loss.

If you have experienced the death of someone who has impacted your life, you might be finding it difficult to adjust to the immense changes you’re going through.

There is no standard time limit and there is no right or wrong way to feel during the bereavement period. Counselling can provide support during these very difficult times. Talking about your loss often allows you to adjust to your new life with all its changes.

Please get in touch with our Psychological & Emotional Support Team if you would like more information about our bereavement counselling service. You can email the team on pes@harlingtonhospice.org
