Bereavement, grief and loss can cause many different symptoms and affect people in different ways. When someone we know dies, the impact can touch every part of our lives – emotionally, physically, socially and spiritually. There is no ‘right’ way to grieve, and no set timeline.

It is really important that people bereaved by any cause are cared for and receive support, especially in the first days and weeks following their bereavement. We know, that early selfcare, care from people immediately around us, and care from others too, can mean that it is easier, over time, to make a recovery, with good mental health.

At Luton All Women's Centre, our Bereavement Support Group provides an opportunity for women to come together during a period of bereavement, take part in some therapeutic activities and share their feelings.
