About this event:
The loss of a loved one can be hard to bear, help and support is available for you and your family.
It is always hard when we lose someone we love, the grief process we go through is a very personal and individual experience. Where do we turn turn to for support? All too often we do not want to ‘burden’ others with our problems, we try to process our grief alone – you are not alone. Cheshire Bereavement Network has been coming together for a number of years and is made up of different support services for all the different circumstances around bereavement.
We want to provide you with the opportunity to find out exactly what support is available to you. During the event we will share testimonies from families who have been supported by some of the services involved. Everyone who attends will be sent an electronic document providing a summary of the services available along with documents to support you through your grief or to help you support others.
Derek, Group Volunteer for St Helens group will be giving a short presentation on suicide bereavement at this event and sharing his experience’s as a SoBS volunteer.
This event will take place on Zoom, you can book your place directly here or alternatively you can email hit@halton.gov.uk to reserve your place.

Since losing our son Jonathan to suicide in May 2011, we have done quite a lot of fundraising. We have held boot sales, stalls at fetes, skydives and many, many raffles.
In 2005 we tragically lost Fee – beloved wife and mother, when she took her own life. The shock and loss was enormous and it wasn’t until 2009 when we discovered Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide. This charity has helped all three of us, in different ways, in coming to terms with such a painful loss. It is a loss that you never get over, but their involvement in our lives has helped us to move on but not forget.
