Bereavement support
In supporting carers and family following the death of a loved one:
- offer appropriate support and follow up
- confirm who is providing support
- offer information leaflets e.g. Cruse Bereavement Support and other resources e.g. The Bereavement Register® can help reduce the amount of direct mail sent to a deceased's address, stopping painful daily reminders
- consider child bereavement needs: e.g. Marie Curie Cancer Care information for parents supporting children; and Winston's Wish
- where complex bereavement needs are identified refer to appropriate local services: contact list of counselling providers
