Cruse Bereavement Care - Helpline

Our Helpline is run by trained bereavement volunteers, who offer emotional support to anyone affected by grief. We’ll give you space to talk about your feelings and how you’ve been coping. Our volunteers are completely non-judgemental and won’t share what you’ve told them with anyone else, unless you are in danger.
