Bereavement

Where can I get help?

If you are sleeping badly, your GP is able to prescribe a few days supply of sleeping tablets, or anti-depressants if your feelings of depression are worsening.

Other therapies such as bereavement counselling and psychotherapy may also help. You might find it useful to contact a support group where you can talk with others who have been bereaved. Sharing feelings and understanding that others are experiencing similar emotions and difficulties is often helpful in coming to terms with the situation
