Are you, or anyone you know dealing with loss? It’s hard. Have you got stuck and could do with some help?
Caraway is running a Bereavement Course starting Monday 28 April. It will be a gentle safe place to explore your loss with a few others in a similar situation.
It will be led by Pippa, a Psychotherapist, and a Caraway Chaplain, and with Ros Simpson from Caraway. Would you like a chat about it to see if it is for you? If so please ring Ros on 07971074515. If you would like to reserve a place then please email Caraway.
