Help Beyond the Funeral
Grief is not an illness but a natural response to the loss of a
loved one. Only through a lengthy healing process can the pain and
emptiness begin to give way to hope and optimism. There is no
simple remedy.
Educational seminars, hosted by Australia's leading grief
educators, are held regularly for those families that have recently
experienced bereavement, or for those who seek to become better
equipped in helping those who grieve. Our bereavement education
officer also provides regular training sessions for nursing
professionals, teachers, clergy and carers, as a complimentary
community service.
In addition, a Christmas service takes place each year for those
families who are facing their first Christmas without a loved one.
This beautiful and uplifting ceremony has helped many families cope
with seasonal festivities far better than they thought
possible.
A resource library gives support, encouragement and understanding
to bereaved families and caregivers.
