Bereavement Services

If you have been caring for a person that has died, the loss can seem even greater. How you cope with the death of the person you cared for is a very personal thing. There is no right or wrong way to feel following a death.

Immediately after a death there are a lot of practical things to do, like registering the death and arranging the funeral, and family and friends tend to be around a lot more. It may be that only when all the practicalities are dealt with, and the people around you get back to their everyday lives, that you really start to grieve. 

The following information may help you think about some of the practical issues to address and highlights some of the emotional impacts on carers when the person they cared for dies.

Please see our website and the Carers UK website for further information on Bereavement Services.
