You might feel disbelief, guilt, anger, depression and even relief. However you react, your feelings are valid and how you find support is too.
The most important thing is that you look after yourself – it’s easy to overlook self-care when you’re caring for someone and it’s easy to continue to do so once they’ve died. Take the time to recognise your feelings and think about the support networks you have in place that can help you through this time. It could be friends who will sit and listen to you, family who will help with everyday life or groups who can support your family.
We’re also on hand to help you in whatever way we can.
Our teams know you and the situation you’re in. We want to help you make the most of the time you have left with your loved one and make the process after death as manageable as possible.
