Bereavement Support
Reuben’s Retreat knows first-hand the devastation and heartbreak of losing a child. Every bereavement journey is unique to the individual but it’s often quite lonely and isolated and grief can have a profound effect on relationships with loved ones and friends.
We provide a range of services for siblings and parents that have lost a child, including counselling, support groups, well-being, bereavement books, activities, short breaks & day trips and a place to feel understood and supported. The effects of bereavement can last a life-time and as such we do not place limits on the length of time that has passed since a child has died.
If you would like support please reach out to us by whichever means you feel most comfortable:
- Call us on 01457 680 023 (we can always arrange to call you back at a more convenient time)
- Email support@reubensretreat.org
- Complete the document below and post to Nicola Graham, Reuben’s Retreat, Park Crescent, Glossop, SK13 7BQ.
