Help if you are grieving
There is lots of good advice on dealing with grief on the Macmillan or Good Grief Trust websites.
Don't forget St Luke's run Compassionate Cafes all around Plymouth. A Compassionate Café is a community-led movement run by our Compassionate Friends to reach out to members of the community that are experiencing loss, bereavement or maybe affected by life limiting illness themselves. If anyone feels as though they need someone to talk to, they can sit down and chat over a cup of tea and cake. Compassionate Friends aren’t there to give official advice, but they are there to offer support, company and to lend a friendly ear.
