Grief is hard...

If you have been bereaved and feel you may not have come to terms with your loss, we hope you will benefit from attending The Bereavement Journey. The Bereavement Journey is a facilitated group over 7 weekly sessions, where participants are guided in exploring their loss, aided by a Manual. Anyone 18 years+ for whom someone important has died at any time is welcome.

We realise that grief can be very painful, and The Bereavement Journey has been designed to validate every person’s experience and help them feel safe. 
There is no expectation to say or do anything. Participants make their own decisions about what feels right for them and they do their own grief work. 

To maximise the benefit, we recommend attendance at all the 6 main sessions, and that a trusted person is found to check in with after each session.
The course ends after session 6 and the 7th Session is optional for those who wish to explore spiritual questions which often arise in bereavement, or just listen to a Christian perspective. 
Feedback over the years is that this session helps people of all backgrounds, whatever their faith or none.

Topics include:
Attachment, separation and loss | The impact and pain of bereavement | Anger and guilt | Coping with others’ reactions | Adjusting to change  Delayed and suppressed grief | Moving forward healthily

Next Course will start on: 
Friday, 2nd May 2025, at St Catherine's Church Hall, Pontypridd
The course will cost £20 and include the Grief Manual*

Testimonials

“It was a safe place to journey with others who had understanding and empathy around loss and grief.”

“The content of the course addressed my feelings. I found that I was able to confront the more difficult feelings of regret, guilt and anger and that I can get through the grieving process and move into a different kind of life”

​“Love it! Have already recommended it so many of our friends. It would have cost hundreds of pounds in therapy to get where I am. The group support and the information in the videos was brilliant.”
​

“I can see the light now, the pain is not as bad”
​

“The last session was really important for me, the action of lighting the candle at the end and the portion which the leader read out was very helpful to me. I felt a deep peace after that.”
​

​“It’s helped me understand and deal with a lot of my pain, hurt and confusion. It’s help me understand why I feel the way I feel. I’m so grateful for this course and the leaders who ran it, just brilliant.          Thank you so much.”
