In July 2023, I lost my dear Dad suddenly and unexpectedly. The Guernsey Bereavement Service was recommended to me by the palliative care team at the PEH to help me come to terms with my Dad's passing.
I was contacted by the Guernsey Bereavement Service and offered support and I went to see a lovely lady there for some time. She helped me process what had happened and explained the process of grief and a way forward.
I will be forever grateful to them for their help and support at the time when I really needed it.
This fundraising page benefits the following good cause:
Grieving can bring about many difficult symptoms, both emotional and physical. Common experiences include guilt, anger, depression, lethargy, insomnia, loss of appetite, loneliness, and confusion. You may feel like your mind is unravelling. In truth, these reactions are all normal symptoms of the grieving process.
Grief has many forms, since it accompanies any type of significant loss. Some examples are grief over the death of a loved one, job loss, divorce, or loss of one's health. There are as many types of grief as there are types of loss. Regardless of the cause, grief creates an immense burden that can temporarily alter your mindset and disrupt your routine. Know that what you are feeling is normal following a tragedy or crisis. Focus on coping one day at a time, seeking support when needed. With care for your needs, the heaviness of grief will eventually lift.
Guernsey Bereavement Services can help support you on your journey through loss and grief.
