Benefit from The Bereavement Journey®
If you have been bereaved and feel you may not have come to terms with your loss, we hope you will benefit from attending The Bereavement Journey®
The Bereavement Journey® is being run across the UK in person and online.
It offers 15 films over 7 sessions, usually held weekly, and sometimes with a light meal or refreshments. Participants are placed in groups of 6-8 for discussion following the films, and volunteers guide them in exploring their loss, aided by a manual.
Anyone 18 years+ for whom someone important has died at any time is welcome. The Bereavement Journey® offers holistic support, including signposting and its optional Session 7, which explores spiritual questions from a Christian perspective.
“It was good to know that we are not going mad. We also felt assured that we are in a reasonably healthy place with our grief, although it is very difficult.”
We realise that grief can be very painful and The Bereavement Journey® has been designed to validate every person’s experience and help them feel safe. There is no expectation to say or do anything. Participants make their own decisions about what feels right for them and they do their own grief work. To maximise the benefit, we recommend attendance at all six main sessions and that a trusted person is found to check in with after each session.
The material ends with Session 6 and the 7th Session is optional for those who wish to explore spiritual questions which often arise in bereavement, or just listen to a Christian perspective. Feedback over the years is that this session helps people of all backgrounds, whatever their faith or none.
The Bereavement Journey® is offered at cost in locations and materials are heavily subsidised centrally to make the Programme available to as many people as possible. We rely upon donations. If you are able to make a donation to enable The Bereavement Journey® to be offered to others, we would be most grateful. Thank you for your support.
