We know that losing someone has a deep impact, and that everyone will react in a different way.

If you are feeling emotional, anxious, upset or worried or are having even more significant struggles with your mental health and well-being - help and support is available. As well as arranging an appointment with our in-house Mental Health Practitioner, you can access help from the following services, many of whom are available round the clock. We hope these other resources can be of use:
