Every day, people in Ireland experience the death of someone close. Grief isn’t something we “get over” in the weeks or months after a death but can be experienced for years and decades to come. Bereavement does not follow a definite pattern and can be different for everyone.

We have a national freephone service 1800 80 70 77 available from 10am to 1pm, Monday to Friday.

• We aim to provide a confidential space for people to speak about their experience or to ask questions relating to the death of someone they cared about.
• We will listen to what a person says about what has happened.
• We will do our best to provide comfort and emotional support.
• We will provide any information that might help the caller, including information on practical supports.
• We will provide support for employers or professionals who want to inform the care their organisation can offer to bereaved colleagues.

No one has to grieve alone.
