Hello, can anyone assist me on the grief space support? Has anyone been to one of these sessions and did they find it helpful? What kind of things happen in the session? Also has anyone been to the one in Sheffield.
Kind regards. X
Hi, I went to my nearest one at the beginning of my grief journey in January until it closed due to low numbers and it was a lifeline for me really.
It was very much a drop in and talk about whatever came up, no pressure. I do miss it
Thank you for your response. I have seen they do one in Sheffield but I couldn’t find any other information. I didn’t want to turn up and nobody be there. It is something I would be interested in though meeting up with other local people to talk about our experiences with grief. I lost my mum in December and I feel like my world was turned upside down. I have recently finished grief counselling through Sue Ryder which I did find helped me to process things abit better.
I think i contacted them through the website and they put me in touch with the local coordinator, you could try that?
I lost my Mum on New Year’s Day this year, I did have the assessment for the online sessions but they couldnt offer me any as they said it wouldnt be enough and i was too complex so I’ve just been winging it.
Im not a million miles away, im nearer to Leeds but I am socially awkward 
I will give them a message and see what they say but thanks again for getting back to me. I do think being in a space where people are going through something similar might help me. I’m not sure if you are the same but a lot of friends and family just don’t know what to say to you. It’s not something I thought I’d be going through at 34, we always just think we’ve got more time.
Im 33 so i know exactly what you mean. Nothing could have prepared me for this 
Yes it isn’t easy a bit lot luck it seems if people turn up. But in reality places where people meet anyway contain lots of folk in the same boat when you get to know them.
Yeah that’s my fear as I live at the other side of the city, I don’t want to travel to it and then nobody be there. I do have friends that have gone through something similar but I’d like to meet new people too.
Well yesterday I walked into the community centre with mainly older people there. I asked for a cuppa.
Luckily someone I hadn’t seen for years there. She had lost her husband three years ago and we shared experiences. So there is often a chance without having to go much out of your way.
I was pleased to see her.
