The YSJ Communities Centre are running a Café for bereaved people to help them understand what they are going through. When you are bereaved of someone you loved, the emotions you feel can be confusing. Bereavement counsellors and other helpers will be there to listen to people’s stories.Each person’s grief is unique, but we will teach a little about the grief journey most people go through, and you may recognise yourself in what we say.
We also warmly welcome anyone interested in helping family and friends with their grief, as well as anyone interested in learning more about bereavement support. The café is held every month on a Wednesday.
The group may not be helpful if your grief is recent, and you know you would be very distressed in public. However, grief can take any of us by surprise. If you do get distressed, don’t worry. One of us will take you to a quiet space to talk.
We've also teamed up with Pets as Therapy, and Nikki our Centre Manager will be bringing along Nola (her little doggy) to some of the drop-in sessions! Nola loves a cuddle and meeting with new people, so will be sure to give you a warm welcome if you join one of the sessions and want to say hello to her.
