Hello @Nightmairs13,
I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother. We know online support isn’t for everyone, so I hope some of these links are helpful for your father.
There is an organisation called The Silver Line which offers advice and support for getting involved in groups. They may be able to point your father in the right direction.
The Silver Line is for people aged 55 and over. They also have a free chatline which is available 24/7 for friendship, conversation and support. Their number is 0800 4 70 80 90.
Cruse Bereavement Care Scotland offer one-to-one counselling across Scotland. They give support through their helpline for anyone who has been bereaved. Their number is 0808 802 6161, which is open Monday to Thursday, 9am to 8pm and Friday, 9am to 4pm.
There is also a Good Grief support group in North Lanarkshire. You can find the details here: Good Grief - North Lanarkshire Council
Take good care,
Seaneen
