Demystifying Death Week

Demystifying Death Week is about shining a light on death, dying and bereavement in Scotland.

People usually want to do the right thing when someone they know is caring, dying or grieving. But often they can feel awkward offering help, or worry about making things worse.

Churches & Bereavement Friendly Communities

Samara — Sat, 25 Mar 2023 17:04:00 +0000

What are Bereavement Friendly Communities?

Communities are bereavement friendly when individuals, businesses and organisations work together to support anyone in their community who has been bereaved. Death is part of life but is something we can't learn how to deal with in advance. Bereaved people often just need to talk, have their loss acknowledged or simply know that their loved one was valued. Whether or not we have had training, we can all provide a place to talk and listen. Whether you are a hairdresser, pub landlord, postmaster, part of a church or school or just a neighbour, help make your village or town a Bereavement Friendly Community. A death in our community is a loss to everyone.
