LivingGrief is the St Elizabeth Hospice bereavement service, co-ordinating support for East Suffolk.
We specialise in bereavement from life-limiting and long term illnesses.
However, we can signpost you to the right support whether it is a bereavement from a loss of a baby, unexpected death of a child or adult or suicide.
Our LivingGrief bereavement and emotional wellbeing enquiry line is available to anyone affected by grief.
Talking to others who are going through similar experiences of bereavement can be enormously beneficial.
Group support is on offer in both Ipswich & Beccles, as well as one to one support.
Our 565 Service provides emotional support for children, young people and families living with a family member with progressive illness.
You will also find support for teachers & those working with young people.
Open to all bereaved people in Suffolk, Walk On is a free walking group, exploring local places and the countryside to boost wellbeing.
The LivingGrief Hub will signpost you to the right support from any type of bereavement.
Discover social groups across Ipswich, Stowmarket, Woodbridge, Felixstowe, Framlingham, Leiston, Saxmundham, Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and surrounding areas.
Before LivingGrief I had a sense that life was a closed book, but the service has shown me life is full of new possibilities and I have a feeling of openness once more, which I never thought would be possible.
