The six-week Hope Again programme offers the kind of support that is needed, as it focuses on particular aspects of the journey of loss and allows people to feel they are in the company of those who are dealing with common concerns and feelings. Many of the feelings we experience in loss, grief and bereavement are normal. But we know it’s hard for people to be reassured of that in the isolation of their own personal situation. The Hope Again programmes have been developed by a group of trained local people, a number of whom will deliver each programme and are supported by an experienced counsellor with CRUSE Bereavement Service.
