Mariners Drive Stoke Bishop Bristol, BS9 1QJ, United Kingdom

The Bereavement Journey® is for anyone who has been bereaved at any time and in any way.

The six-week course is based around a series of high-quality films and discussion groups that gently guide people through the most common aspects of grief and bereavement, enabling them to process the implications for themselves and discern next steps.

An optional seventh session explores bereavement from a Christian perspective, but the whole course is suitable for people of any faith or none.

A recent participant said: I can't think of a single person who wouldn't benefit from this course. I lost several older relatives in the space of a couple of years, and even though their deaths were timely it still helped to have the opportunity to process my grief.

Another reflected that: I was surprised to find myself sharing with the group about a bereavement I experienced over 50 years ago, when I was a young adult. I hadn't realised that I still carried the pain of this loss, and it helped to be able to share that with others in a safe space.

Whoever you are, and whatever loss you have experienced, this course is for you. Do join us if you can.
