Free bereavement support for adults, children and families across the Liverpool City Region.

How can we help?

SOMEONE TO TURN TO

Liverpool Bereavement Service has been supporting people through grief and loss since 1998.

We provide free, compassionate bereavement support for adults, children and families across the Liverpool City Region.

Everyone experiences loss at some stage in their lives, and it can be a harrowing and life-changing time.

People experience grief in many different ways, from emotional numbness to anger, sadness and guilt.

Often, people feel that there is no one to turn to, and may find it hard, sometimes impossible, to cope with the overwhelming impact of their loss.

Our experienced counsellors offer a safe and supportive space to talk, helping you to navigate grief in your own way and at your own pace.

HOW YOU CAN HELP US

Liverpool Bereavement Service is an independent charity, and we rely on donations and fundraising to continue providing our support.

As demand for bereavement support continues to grow, your support helps us to ensure that no one has to face grief alone.

We may invite a voluntary donation from those who use our service, but support will never be affected if someone is unable to contribute.

We also rely on our dedicated team of trained and qualified counsellors, who generously give their time and experience to support people across the region.

PEOPLE WE HAVE HELPED

Thank you for everything you've done

Hi Dave, Just want to thank you for everything you have done for Carl. Ever since I have known him, he has always struggled, from his childhood, he never thinks anyone likes him and will never ask for help for fear of rejection. His mum dying was the last straw that broke the camel's back. It took him a while to break down and tell me he was struggling, even then he refused help! When I rang Liverpool Bereavement Services, I didn,t know if he would attend, but he did and each week you could see the load was getting lighter. On holiday he was so relaxed, I've not seen him like that for a long time and I know talking to you was the result of this. He will always have his insecurities but dealing with his mum's death was something I never thought he would be able to do. Thank you so much, everything you have done means the world to us.

The sessions were invaluable

Thank you for helping me, the sessions were all invaluable, as it the service you offer. The safe environment and being able to talk to someone freely, without judgement, has been what I needed to help find myself. The Liverpool Bereavement Service is second to none and everyone that works there is so special and much appreciated. With much love and respect to you all and a big thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I now know better days will come

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Sue for all the support you have given me over my time with you. You have been such a safe place for me come each week and I feel it has helped me massively being able to talk, laugh and cry for that hour with you. Thanks to you, I now know losing my amazing dad is never something I will get over, and nor would I want to. But better days will come.

Thank you for your understanding

Thank you very much Sue for all your support right from the beginning when I contacted you by telephone. You have been so understanding with regards to my health situation, which eased my anxiety until I was able to attend counselling.

Thank you for your kind words and compassion

To all the staff at Liverpool Bereavement Service, a big thank you for all of your kind words, compassion, and for taking the time to listen and for the care you give to people who use your valuable service. A special thank you to Lynn for your hard work listening to the silence, I think I will be forever a woman of few words. Best wishes to everyone.

I was lost in grief

Words cannot express my gratitude for you & everything you do for bereaved people. I was 'lost in grief', and then I found you! Your efforts to make time for your wonderful counsellors to see me helped me find my way again. I feel blessed to have met you. For people struggling with grief you are a beacon of light in the dark. Thank you for everything you have done and long may you continue the excellent work you do to change the lives of people like me.
