Supporting You Through Grief

HERE FOR LIVERPOOL SINCE 1998

At some point in our lives, many of us will experience grief. It can feel overwhelming, isolating, and difficult to navigate.

Liverpool Bereavement Service was established to ensure that no one has to face that experience alone.

Since 1998, we have supported people across the Liverpool City Region through bereavement in all its forms, offering a safe, compassionate space to talk and be heard.

HOW WE SUPPORT YOU

We offer free, accessible bereavement counselling for adults, children and young people.

Our support is delivered by trained volunteer counsellors, offering a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to explore your experience at your own pace.

We support people through a wide range of bereavement experiences, including sudden loss, traumatic bereavement, baby and child loss, and complex or long-standing grief.

HOW WE WORK WITH YOU

We understand that grief affects everyone differently.

It can impact emotional wellbeing, relationships, identity, and day-to-day life in ways that are not always easy to explain.

You don’t need to have the right words or know where to begin.

We will meet you where you are.

PART OF THE LIVERPOOL COMMUNITY

We are rooted in the local community and work closely with partners across Liverpool to ensure people can access the support they need when they need it.

As demand for bereavement support continues to grow, we remain committed to providing compassionate, consistent care to those who may otherwise feel alone in their grief.

Lighter

Thank you for everything you’ve done for Carl. He has always struggled and found it hard to ask for help, but after losing his mum things became overwhelming. When I contacted Liverpool Bereavement Service, I wasn’t sure he would attend — but he did. Week by week, you could see the weight beginning to lift. Seeing him relaxed again, like on our recent holiday, meant so much. I never thought he would be able to begin processing his mum’s death in this way. Thank you - everything you’ve done means the world to us.

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.

Better Days

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.

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.

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.

Reflection

"I found Carol to be kind, compassionate, empathetic, knowledgeable and helped me to make sense of the way I was feeling by giving me time to work through how I was feeling and why. She also provided much needed reassurance that everything I was feeling was quite normal and helped me to reflect on the happy memories I have".

There is Light
