Hi does anyone live in Flintshire or nearby that wants to meet up for coffee and support as there doesn’t seem to be any local groups that I can find, everything seems to be online which is not good when your grief is overwhelming and you just want to be around people who get it as opposed to people saying stupid things as they don’t actually know what to say.
Hello @SuzieB33,
Thank you for reaching out. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Sue Ryder has just launched our Grief Kind Spaces.
Our Grief Kind Spaces are weekly, in-person drop-in sessions held in the local community and run by trained volunteers. The sessions provide a safe, informal and supportive place for people to come together and share their experiences of grief, helping attendees to feel heard and less alone.
If you’re not in an area with a Grief Kind space, or are looking for a different kind of support, you might want to check out the AtALoss website. It is a directory of bereavement support, including support groups. If you click this link then select your region, you can see what bereavement support is available in your area.
Your council’s website should also have information on local bereavement support. If you search for “your council name + bereavement”, you can find your council bereavement support page.
I hope this is helpful - take good care,
Alex
