Dandelions Bereavement Support

About Dandelions

At Dandelions, we know what it is like when your whole world is turned upside down by the loss of a loved one. Grief taints every aspect of your life, even parts of it that didn't involve the person that has died, and the intense variety of emotions can feel overwhelming. You may find yourself wondering where to begin in putting your life back together, perhaps you're not sure you want to. At Dandelions we are here to care, listen and be with you through your grief process; to help you work out who you now are in light of the loss and to gain the confidence to deal with life as it now is.

Our warm and empathetic counsellors have many years of experience in working with people grieving the loss of someone important to them. We can be there to listen to and encourage you, sit with you in your sadness and educate you on what grief can look like.

Often, even when surrounded by family and friends, grief can feel very lonely and isolating. Perhaps those around you don't quite understand what your loss means to you, perhaps you don't want to mention it for fear of worrying or upsetting them. You are not alone in this, please get in touch to find out how we can help you.
