Bereavement puts enormous pressure on families and the support they receive makes all the difference. That's why Care for the Family is pleased to endorse the work of AtaLoss.org.

We live in an age where we think death is an option.

The pain of grief is perhaps...the price we pay for love.

Grief is like a long, winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.

I really regret not talking about my mother's death

The website offers a vital service to professionals as well as bereaved families.

It dawns on you quite suddenly that life is never, ever going to be the same again, that the whole world has changed in a moment.

The GrabLife weekend was a safe environment to speak openly with people who truly understand.

I can honestly say going on the GrabLife weekend was the best decision I had made since losing my partner.    

There is no such thing as ‘very few losses’. We’ve all had tons of losses and we need to take ownership of them. We can be overwhelmed by them and go under, or we can recognise them as integral to living.

Each one of us can be a creative survivor.

Having received a huge amount of support myself and seeing the work provided by AtaLoss, with such care and practicality, I’d like to contribute something too, that I might be helping others going through often bewildering loss.”
