What does a Bereavement Volunteer actually do?

Sometimes, it's simply about being there.

When someone is grieving, they may not need someone to fix things. They may need someone who will:

💜 Listen
💜 Give them space to talk
💜 Help them understand what they're experiencing
💜 Offer support without judgement
💜 Remind them they're not alone

Mary has been supporting people through grief with Cruse since 2006. She says "It’s about listening, patience and being able to sit alongside someone in their darkest moments."

Today is World Mental Health Awareness Day 💜

Grief impacts us in so many ways, including having an affect on our mental health. From anxiety and depression to suicidal thoughts, grief can trigger or worsen our mental health.

The more open conversations we have about this, increasing awareness and understanding, the better.

20 years ago, Mary became a Cruse volunteer. Today, she’s still making a difference 💜

Mary’s journey with Cruse began with her own experience of grief.

After losing her mother, Mary found herself struggling and reached out to Cruse. One phone call helped her feel “validated and understood”, simply because someone listened. That experience stayed with her.

Around 2 years later, Mary returned to Cruse, this time to begin her journey as a Bereavement Volunteer. For the last 20 years she’s supported people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

Now she’s asking: could you be part of the next 20 years?

Have you tried writing a 'Done List'?

A Done List gives you the chance to recognise and acknowledge what you’ve managed today — no matter how small it seems.

Open the notes app on your phone or grab a pen and paper, and write down what you did today. It’s a simple way to reflect, and you might be surprised at how much you actually got through.

✅Got dressed
✅ Had a shower
✅Walked the dog
✅Cooked dinner
✅Took a deep breath

When we’re grieving, the things that seem ‘small’ can take a lot of strength 💜
