As part of our services we provide a confidential and sympathetic ear. However, once the funeral is over, you may still feel that you need to express your thoughts and feelings with someone else. Contacting a Bereavement Councillor is an ideal way of sharing your grief, with someone who has a good understanding of what you are experiencing and can say "I know how you feel" and really mean it.
Clergy have a duty to provide parochial care to their parishioners. They are experienced listeners, not just preachers. Many churches have lay carers who can visit, to at least share a pot of tea.
Please remember, there is no shame in mourning the death of someone you love. Expressing your grief is a vital part of bereavement.
Bereavement is a time full of bad days. Constant reminders occur evoking memories of the death of someone close. It is not a process of getting over it, more a matter of getting used to it. The bad days will slowly get further apart. You will always remember.
