Support After a Bereavement

Discover essential Support After a Bereavement with emotional guidance and practical help

Losing a loved one is a deeply emotional experience, and many people find it difficult to navigate the challenges that follow. During this time, emotional and practical support can make a significant difference in helping individuals cope with their loss and manage essential tasks.

Grief can feel overwhelming, and reaching out for support—whether from friends, family, or professionals—can provide comfort, understanding, and a sense of connection during an isolating time.

Practical asssitance

Practical assistance is equally important. After a death, there are many responsibilities to address, such as arranging the funeral, managing legal paperwork, and handling the deceased’s estate. These tasks can be confusing and stressful, particularly while grieving. Knowing where to turn for guidance can reduce the burden and help ensure everything is handled properly.

Government bodies, charities, and local organisations offer invaluable support. These include bereavement counselling services, financial assistance programs for funeral costs, and advice on probate or benefits. Charities like Cruse Bereavement Care and government resources such as the Tell Us Once service can guide individuals through both emotional recovery and administrative processes.

Help is always available

Having access to trusted resources helps individuals feel less alone and more in control, empowering them to move forward while honouring their loved one’s memory. No one should have to face grief alone—help is always available.

Bennetts have created a ‘useful contacts’ page on their web site. It’s a page which includes many organisations specifically designed to offer help and support after a bereavement in many different ways. From help with funeral expenses to emotional and bereavement support for those affected by a certain type of death.

I can’t thank Bennett’s Funeral Directors enough for looking after my family throughout the most devastating time of our lives when we lost our beautiful mum. They were highly professional, so respectful, understanding and discreet throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend them. Thank you.

Kind regards
