"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me through the grief after losing my son. Your kind support means the world to me; listening, caring and being there for me during tough times."
Our service is provided by professionals who have personal experience with suicide, offering a safe environment in which to discuss your bereavement. We can’t take away pain, anger or sorrow. However, we can share our own experiences of losing a loved one to suicide. This can be done at a time and via a method you feel most comfortable with. We can offer telephone, email and outreach appointments either at home, at our office or at a mutually convenient venue for the persons affected.
