RESIDENTS in Broadway and surrounding villages who have lost loved ones are being reminded they can get help, support and friendship at the monthly bereavement cafe.
Grief is acknowledged to be a lonely journey, but people do not have to face it alone. The Bereavement Cafe held at Signpost in Russell Square offers a safe and supportive space where individuals can share their experiences of loss with others who understand.
It does not matter if the bereavement is recent or many years ago, attendees will find a listening ear and gentle companionship.
The Bereavement Cafe is hosted by trained volunteers who are there to listen and offer quiet support with no judgement, just understanding conversation over a cup of tea or coffee.
There is no need to book, with people welcome to drop in at any time during the free sessions which are on the second Monday of every month from 10am to 11.30am.
Organiser Yvonne Bostock said: “You do not have to commit to coming every month – just come along whenever you feel ready.
“For many, it’s a small step that makes a big difference – a moment of connection, understanding, and kindness on the journey through grief.
The Bereavement Cafe is open to anyone aged 18 or over, and everyone is welcome.
