Bereavement Support

Whether you’ve lost a loved one recently or some time ago, we know there’s no time scale on grief, we’re here to help you with both the practical and emotional aspects of loss.

Many of us find talking about dying hard because we’re afraid of saying the wrong thing, but here at St Giles we believe that talking about death can be incredibly positive.
