Loss needs to be processed for our physical and mental wellbeing. Unresolved grief can also affect our attitudes, relationships and attainment. The Bereavement Journey is a place to talk - 7 weekly sessions of films and discussion for anyone who has been bereaved, whether grieving a death now, or wanting to explore a previous bereavement that may be unresolved.

Attendance is recommended for all the Sessions, although it is possible to join at Session 2. It is most beneficial to attend at least a few weeks after the death - ideally after the funeral - but this is not essential and The Bereavement Journey can benefit those in anticipatory grief, also pregnancy loss. Please note participants need to be able to hear other people’s stories.

Topics include:

• Attachment, separation and loss
• The pain and responses of grief
• Anger and guilt
• Coping with others’ reactions
• Delayed and suppressed grief
• Adjusting to change
• Moving forward healthily

Our next course starts at 7pm on Monday 9th February 2026 at St Mary's.
