Coping with grief and loss during the Coronavirus pandemic

Grief is a natural response to losing someone that’s important to you and can often bring about both physical and emotional pain.

Shock, anger, sadness, guilt, regret, numbness and loneliness are just some of emotions that you may feel.

It can help to have someone to turn to for bereavement support. If you don’t feel comfortable speaking to someone in person or you are unable to due to social distancing guidelines, online bereavement support such as GriefChat may be able to help.

We have a number of guides available which provide expert advice on dealing with loss and grief

Other helpful organisations for grief support:

• Cruse Bereavement Care (England & Wales)
• Cruse Bereavement Care Scotland
• Samaritans
• The Compassionate Friends
