The Bereavement Journey®
How our UK-wide programme is helping people navigate life after bereavement
An independent evaluation shows that The Bereavement Journey®, developed by AtaLoss, is making a significant difference for thousands of people.
The Bereavement Journey®’s structured, volunteer-led, peer-group community support programme gives anyone affected by bereavement the space, understanding and tools they need to face the future. Relaunched in 2023, the programme helps adults process the range of ways a bereavement can impact, whether recent or long ago, and uniquely offers both an optional session of spiritual support plus accompanying signposting to complete its all-round help.
