Coping with Loss

The death of someone important to us will probably be one of the most difficult experiences we ever have to face. Grief is what we feel after a significant loss such as bereavement. Our feelings of grief can take many forms including sadness, anger, relief, depression and many others.

Here To Help with the Coroners Procedure

Our experienced team are here to help families through the challenges of bereavement. Supporting families locally for over sixty years, we are all human, and understand that everyone deals differently with loss and grief.

Bereavement Support

Everyone experiences grief differently and there is no normal or right way to grieve. Grief is completely natural after bereavement and people cope with help and support either from family or friends, or from a specialist charity. A member of the SAIF Care team will be happy to listen to your experiences, answer any questions you may have about bereavement or bereavement support and share information about our services and other organisations that you may find helpful.

The helpline is open from 9am to 9pm, Monday to Friday, available on 0800 917 7224. If unavailable simply leave your contact details and tell them the best time for them to call you. Support via email and online chat are also available. Their staff are trained in counselling skills and bereavement care and will be able to listen and support you. If you wish to access counselling, counsellors provided are highly qualified professionals, friendly, reassuring and supportive. These services are confidential, provided free of charge to families under the care of Cliff Bradley and Sons.
