The Bereavement Journey is for anyone who has been bereaved at any time and in any way.
The Bereavement Journey is a series of films and discussion groups that gently guide people bereaved at any time through the most common aspects of grief and bereavement, enabling them to process the implications for themselves and discern next steps.
Usually run by churches, the programme uniquely offers a final session on faith questions in bereavement, provided from a Christian perspective. This follows the main sessions and is optional, making The Bereavement Journey suitable for people of any faith or none.
Topics include:
Attachment, separation and loss | The impact and pain of bereavement | Anger and guilt | Coping with others’ reactions | Adjusting to change | Delayed and suppressed grief | Moving forward healthily
Run The Bereavement Journey
The Bereavement Journey was developed at Holy Trinity Brompton and is a tried and tested way to help people of any background bereaved in any way. It offers 15 films to be used over 7 sessions, online or in person, usually offered weekly, and sometimes with a light meal or refreshments. Participants do their own grief work, facilitated by volunteers.
“It was a safe place to journey with others who had understanding and empathy around loss and grief.”
Benefit from The Bereavement Journey
The Bereavement Journey is a great place for talking to others who have been bereaved, or just to hear how others are experiencing and dealing with similar issues. Grief is more easily managed when journeying with others and past losses can be opened up safely.
