Dealing with Bereavement

Dealing with the death of a loved one is often a difficult experience and it is important for you to know that there is a range of services available to support them through the difficult circumstances and reactions they may encounter.

Grief is a natural response to loss. This can take many forms including crying, remembering, yearning and talking. For many this can be an unfamiliar and unknown place and support can play an important role in getting through this difficult experience.

Everyone deals with death in different ways and often throws up a variety of emotions. Sorrow, guilt, anger, anxiety, depression and fatigue are all common symptoms experienced at this time.

It is important to know that you are not alone and there are always people who are there to guide you through this process. Family, friends and your doctor are good people to turn to at this time of bereavement.

At John Smith Funeral Directors, we are on hand to provide you with any help they may need. We are able to provide details of counseling and support groups as well as offering our own help, in any way we can, at the time of bereavement.
