Bereavement Support

This activity is provided separately for adults and children. The adult group meets monthly under the guidance of Make Today Count’s Bereavement Co-ordinator and provides support for those who need to share and work through the grief, resentment, anger, frustration and anxiety which normally follows a death. Once again it is the opportunity to share with and receive the understanding of others who are experiencing a similar emotional upheaval, which enables people to come to terms with their grief and to reinvest their lives in a full and useful way.

Our Community Outreach Worker attends to the needs of bereaved children by providing individual grief and loss support.

Make Today Count also offers the Seasons for Growth Adult Program

What is Seasons for Growth?

Seasons for Growth is a successful education program which explores the effects of change, loss and grief.

The program is based on the understanding that grief involves a number of tasks:

1. To accept the reality of loss
2. To experience the pain of grief
3. To learn to adjust to changed circumstances
4. To reinvest emotional energy

Using the imagery of the four seasons, the program is a safe and proven way to help people to think about, and for some, come to terms with their life-changing experiences.

Seasons for Growth is an education program, NOT counselling.
