Free programme to support bereaved

Funeral directors Wathall’s has confirmed the dates for a free programme designed to help people come to terms with bereavement.

The Grief Journey programme is part of the firm’s Dandelions Bereavement Support service, which includes support groups in Derby and Ashbourne, one-to-one counselling and bespoke training programmes for businesses and organisations.

It is run by specially trained Wathall’s staff and has been designed to equip people with the tools, knowledge and a fresh mind-set to come to terms with their grief and help them work towards their future.

Helen Wathall MBE, from Wathall’s, said: “Grief is an individual experience and each person’s emotions and feelings are unique and personal.

“People join us at various times after bereavement – whenever they feel that they need support.

“It is not formal counselling but the opportunity to be part of a group that explores the grief process and emotional pathway to help bereaved people cope with adjustments to life as it is now and the ‘new normal’.”
