Bereavement support
Bereavement support helps people after the death of someone close: in one-to-one conversations, grief groups or grief cafés. It makes room for feelings and helps to rebuild daily life without the person who died.

Origin and approach
Grief is a normal response to loss and takes time. Many people find support helpful; in normal grief, however, studies showed no clear additional benefit. With persistent, very distressing grief, psychotherapy is more likely to help.
What a session is like
Length: 50–60 min- In the conversation you talk about the person who died and how you are now.
- The supporter listens and offers guidance on grief reactions and practical questions.
- In grief groups you share with people who have been through something similar.
Bereavement support: what is it used for?
- Grief after the death of someone close: many find support helpful; in normal grief an additional benefit is not clearly shown.
- Farewell and loss in other situations, for example after a miscarriage.
