The Bereavement Journey is a supportive course for any adult who has experienced bereavement, whether recently or many years ago. It offers a safe and welcoming space to reflect on your loss alongside others who are navigating similar experiences.

Hosted by trained course leaders, the programme runs over 7 sessions. Each session includes two short films followed by gentle group discussion, providing an opportunity to explore thoughts and feelings in a supportive setting. The final session explores faith questions and is entirely optional.

Throughout the course, we consider themes such as:

• Understanding loss

• The pain of grief

• How others respond to our bereavement

• Obstacles on the grief journey

• Coping with change

• Moving forward

• Faith-related questions

We recognise that attending a course like this can feel daunting, particularly when you are already feeling vulnerable. While we cannot promise to remove the pain of grief, we do offer a compassionate environment in which you can begin to make sense of your experience, share with others, and develop helpful ways of coping. We also acknowledge that every person’s grief is unique.
