Groups: Bereavement Team

This team is to support the vicar in his ministry to the bereaved, contacting funeral to offer support either a telephone call or a visit.  We meet in the homes of the bereaved or a local café or similar somewhere the person feels comfortable.

What people think of the Bereavement Team:

“I am a member of this team because I have experienced loss and bereavement and know how comforting it can be to talk to some-one who understands the feeling of pain, sorrow, loss and confusion.”

“I find the most important thing is listening, with understanding, as some-one shares their emotions and feelings at a very distressing and confusing time for them.”

“I personally get out of being part of this group is that the bereaved knows we care about them.”
