The Bereavement Journey

'The Bereavement Journey' is a UK based, well-established award-winning course from 'At a Loss' charity and is being run as a free seven-week film based course in St. Columba's, Midvale Road, for adults who have been bereaved either recently or some time ago. 

Held on Monday evenings 6.30-8.30pm, the course starts on 26th May through to the 7th of July. 

All of us at some point will face the death of someone close to us. Someone who was special or important to us is no longer alive and somehow, we must accept that and find new ways of coping. Through working together with people on the course, participants are welcome to contribute as they wish. This proven very helpful course is for people of all faiths or no faith with only the last optional session dealing with faith questions. By working together as a group, we discover the effects of bereavement which is a main contributor to many societal issues.

Bereavement support contributes positively to the health and wellbeing of individuals and society. Through understanding caring support, most people will learn to navigate their loss and come to a healthy place of new meaning and hope.

Church representatives have the knowledge, skills, training and experience to be of great significance in helping those bereaved to personally mark and celebrate the life of those special to them who have died. It is never too late to do good grief work!
