Professional support 9am - 9pm Monday - Friday 

If you are in the UK, chat live to a GriefChat bereavement counsellor. A free service available Monday-Friday, 9am-9pm. 

Click the Griefchat logo on the right hand corner of this screen. If the pop-up isn't visible, your organisation may have installed a pop-up blocker on your system. Users accessing our website from NHS addresses will probably find this is the case.
