Cruse Online - Peer Support Group Sessions - National

Grieving is a highly individual experience; there’s no right or wrong way to grieve. The Understanding your Bereavement peer support group sessions are recurring 3-weekly meetings with the same people attending each meeting, which takes place over Zoom. 

These sessions will provide a safe, non-judgemental, and confidential space where you can talk about your loss and its impact, should you wish to. We will support you to gain some understanding about your feelings and what may help when navigating difficult days. 

Peer Support Meeting Dates:

• Tuesday 10th February at 2:00pm to 3:30pm
• Tuesday 17th February at 2:00pm to 3:30pm
• Tuesday 24th February at 2:00pm to 3:30pm

The aim of this sessions is for you to:

• Gain some understanding about your feelings and emotions to loss
• To talk about your loss and the impact it has had on you
• To meet others who have also experienced loss 
• To gain some tools and strategies which may help navigate difficult days

The session is supported by 2 trained bereavement volunteers with a maximum of 10 people looking at the unique emotions following a death, self-care, and what may help when navigating difficult days or conversations. Throughout the sessions, there will be will group discussions which the bereavement volunteers will guide you through, this time is for you to speak about whatever you would like to share if you feel able.

We understand that joining an online group session may feel daunting and unfamiliar, please be reassured that this is a safe and confidential space and our hope is that you find some comfort being with others who have had a similar experience.

The session will be held on Zoom, should you need help with using this platform, please follow this link: Zoom guidance for joining a meeting

Polite reminder – please only book onto the 3-week peer support sessions if you know you can attend all the three weekly sessions, as once your place is booked it stops anyone else being able to attend. These are volunteer facilitated peer support group sessions and they only work if you, as bereaved people, can attend to offer each other that peer support. If you for any reason you cannot attend after booking a place, we would ask you to let us know as soon as possible by emailing: uyb@Cruse.org.uk

We look forward to you joining us soon.

Warm wishes,

The Understanding your Bereavement Team
