Having the opportunity to talk or just find a place to be reflective can make all the difference.
At a time of loss, meeting with someone who is not a member of your family, or a friend can help you make sense of your feelings in a different way.
At a time of loss, meeting with someone who is not a member of your family, or a friend can help you make sense of your feelings in a different way. Our Emotional Social and Pastoral Support is here for you.
Our service provides a safe space for patients and their families to talk about their feelings, fears, and concerns. This support helps individuals cope with the emotional strain that accompanies illness and loss.
We have a team of counsellors, support workers and multi-faith Chaplain who provide emotional support to patients and their families, including supporting children and young people, during times of illness and following bereavement.
Support can include talking about the future, managing important conversations with people close to you and helping you with adjustment to health changes. The team can also help reduce feelings of isolation by fostering connections within the community and facilitating support networks.
No matter your faith, our spiritual care is here for you. We recognise the importance of addressing big life questions, spiritual distress and the search for meaning. Our pastoral care may involve patients, their family and friends, exploring beliefs, providing religious rites (if asked for) or simply being present during difficult times. We have a reflective space at Tapping House along with beautiful gardens that you are able to make use of in order to support yourself fully.
The Hospice continues to be here and offer support into bereavement. Such support may be offered through one-to-one sessions with a member of the team or through potential access to one of our Bereavement Support Groups.
Our ESPS service offers a person-cantered approach, making sure that support is tailored to everyone’s individual needs, preferences, and cultural or religious background.
If you would like to find out more and talk to one of our friendly ESPS team members, please call 01485 601700.
The bereavement service is a limited resource available for people who are bereaved of someone cared for by the Hospice team. Bereavements of more than two years ago require a GP referral.
Grief can often just be too hard to bear, but no one should ever feel alone and having the opportunity to talk or just find a place to be reflective can make all the difference. We provide patients and their families with emotional and spiritual support during the palliative phase of life and into bereavement.
No matter your beliefs, our spiritual care is here for you.
According to your needs we offer a simple but crucial space to reflect, grieve and mend at an
indescribably difficult time.
