It is available to those who have lost loved ones to palliative illnesses such as cancer, heart failure, or motor neurone disease.

The programme provides a safe space for individuals to explore and process their grief alongside others with similar experiences.

The seven-week programme touches on topics including Looking at loss, the pain of grief, how we can respond, reactions of others, obstacles to the grief journey, coping with change, moving forward, and an optional session considering faith questions.

Jim Fleming, SAH Chaplain, says, “The Bereavement Journey provides some information and a listening space to help those who are grieving to better understand their grief and help them to navigate through their grief journey.”

A past attendee of the Bereavement Journey comments, “It was good to be able to express my feelings with people who understood because they were experiencing much the same.”

Participants must opt for either the Tuesday afternoon or evening session in Newry or the Wednesday morning sessions in Dungannon for the duration of the seven-week programme.
