Cruse Bereavement Care offer support through our website, national helpline, live chat, group, zoom, telephone or one-to-one in person support.
We help people through one of the most painful times in life – with bereavement support, information and campaigning.
We want to make sure everyone, including hundreds of service men and women children & young people, who are grieving get the help they need in a way that works for them. We have many resources to support you and practical tips on things that need to be completed when someone dies.
One to one support
We offer one to one sessions with one of our trained bereavement supporters. These usually take place over the phone or via a video call. You’ll normally see one of our volunteers between one and six times.
What happens during a session?
In one to one sessions you can explore your grief with your bereavement supporter. You can talk about the person who died, how their death is affecting you, and how you are coping. Using counselling skills, your supporter will help you to understand what you are going through and develop coping strategies.
How can it help me?
One to one support offers a safe, confidential space for you to explore emotions. It helps to you explore feelings and thoughts and make sense of your world. It can be very helpful if you are feeling a lot of distress.
