Enhancing the quality of care for patients in all care settings through partnership collaboration, advice and education

Bereaved person’s story

"Since Joan's death the hospice team have not forgotten me.  I have been back to the bereavement teas and met others who are going through the same thing.  I have also been able to have one to one counselling with Alison which has been really helpful.  I did not think I would need it but I soon found it helpful to talk.  I also saw Sally for some aromatherapy like Joan had enjoyed and I found that I was able to talk to Sally at the same time."  (David, whose wife Joan died at home)

"After Mum died Claire even gave us advice about how to support my children.  My little boy, aged eight, loved his Grandma and I wasn't sure if I should let him see Mum after she had died but Claire talked us through it all and it worked out really well. She was so helpful about that"  (David's daughter)
