Steps you can take to helping yourself 

Talking with friends and family can be comforting. 

Remember the good times with the person you have lost, this way you keep them as a part of your life. You might find it helpful to create a memory box and keep a few of their special possessions or photo’s.

If you feeling overwhelmed or particularly distressed, share how you are feeling with someone you can trust and if these feelings persist speak to your GP who may be able to refer you to specialist services who can support you. 

You can also contact Cruse Bereavement Care, a leading national bereavement charity who can provide additional support and information to help you during this time.

Coronavirus – dealing with bereavement and grief – a resource from Cruse, covers some of the different situations and emotions bereaved people may have to deal with, as well as advice on how to support people who’ve lost friends or family during the pandemic.

You can also contact the National bereavement and loss support line on 0300 303 4434. This is available from 7am -11pm, seven days a week.

How you can help someone who has experienced a loss

Remaining in touch with friends and family who have experienced a bereavement can be of huge help and comfort to them. Let them talk about how they are feeling and about the person who has died. If you are worried they may need further support you can suggest they contact Cruse or their GP for further advice and support.
