Bereavement
After the death of a loved one, there is a period of bereavement, in some cultures termed mourning.
This is often a time when feelings of sadness, anger, guilt and/or frustration and anxiety surface and can become overwhelming.
There is no ‘right’ way to mourn, nor is there a predetermined ‘normal’ time period for mourning – it is very individual – how each person deals with bereavement is different. Sometimes it is difficult to talk about your feelings with those close to you. There might be a reluctance to burden others with your sadness, or there may be a fear of judgement or non-acceptance of your thoughts and feelings. It can be helpful at these times to speak to a counsellor who will listen to your fears and concerns non judgementally, helping you find resilience and strategies to manage this difficult time.

What Our Clients Say
We are truly grateful to you for all your help with mum. I know this would not have been possible without your assistance. It is certainly a distressing time but you have made it very much easier for all of us and we all thank you.
“I found your understanding gave us the strength we needed, especially during the last few days when things became really tough. You have a gift of wisdom and a wonderful sense of humour and we are very fortunate to have had your guidance.”
Thank you for your lovely letter. Mum is settling in and the staff at Holly are really lovely, caring people. I am already feeling relieved of the constant worry I had when mum was living alone. The smartest thing I ever did was to engage your services to arrange a placement. Thank you so much for all your kindness and understanding and delivering a good result so quickly.
Thank you so much for all your help, we couldn't have done it without you. We are very happy with St Louis, the care is wonderful. I am back from my trip to the US, much rested and ready for the path ahead.
Thank you very much for your prompt, professional and caring service. Doug has settled in well and is very happy. This is a great relief for me and my sister, Colleen, who were very concerned about making these big decisions about Doug's future. We know that the move was timely and we are very grateful that a vacancy was offered to us in such a short time.
