Living On Bereavement Service

Living On Bereavement Service Living On supports bereaved children and their families in the Orpington area. These groups are available from eight months after your loss.

Our aim is to bring children, young people and families together in order to support one another during their grief to alleviate the isolation and loneliness that walks hand in hand with grief. We provide two services:

Grief groups

The aim of the groups are to bring families together who have all been bereaved. We all meet in the same place but during the evening we will split into three groups:

children, young people and adults in order to work age appropriately. During the groups we look at difficult feelings, collecting memories, sharing stories and discovering ways to deal with our grief. After the groups have finished we will run regular family events in order to remember our loved ones and continue the friendships and bonds made in the groups. Buddying service

You can self refer to us or a health or education professional can refer a family when someone has JUST lost a loved one. We will connect the family with one of our specially trained buddy’s who will be there to support the family during the first 12 months of their bereavement. We will be able to offer, telephone, email and face to face advice and support on how to talk to your child about the death you have experienced and how then to prepare for a funeral and the living on after that.

When we’re grieving, our minds and bodies can feel overwhelmed. Taking a few slow breaths can help create a small moment of calm in the middle of a difficult day.
There is no right or wrong way to grieve. If today feels hard, be gentle with yourself. 💜

Important reminder to check in with yourself and how you are feeling 💜🤍
