Bereavement Service
The Community Bereavement Service at Clarkson House is available to ANYONE in the community who has suffered a loss, regardless of the nature of the bereavement.
They offer help and support to those who have lost a relative or friend and are having difficulty coming to terms with the bereavement. Death and bereavement bring many changes that are painful. Many people feel isolated and find that there is no-one with whom to share their grief. Enabling people to express their feelings at this time helps them to adjust to the major changes that they face. The service is confidential and free of charge.
