Grief Support Services

Almost everyone suffers bereavement at some point during their lives. There is a universal need to express grief, which can be in different ways, depending on personal circumstances and culture. It is important to remember that we all grieve in our own individual way.

Weeping commonly offers wholesome relief and should not be discouraged. Talking freely about the person who has passed away offers relief and helps in adjusting to a new reality. Failure to find wholesome expression of one’s grief can seriously hamper long term adjustment and is frequently the cause of physical illness. It may be a useful exercise to discuss death and loss with a group of people. There are various organisations listed on this page and the appropriate one to assist your needs would depend on whether you are more comfortable in a group or one-on-one. Your choice would also depend on your relationship with the deceased.

This information is simply for your use if you, or a member of your family, would benefit from contacting these organisations. There are also many other private counsellors listed in the Yellow Pages.
