Supporting the people close to our patients is an important part of Hospiscare’s work. And that support doesn’t stop when a patient dies… We’re here for you for as long as you need us.
Tailored support
We recognise that the type of support people need is as individual as they are – and they will need it at different times. The Supportive Care Team at Hospiscare aim to offer additional support as and when you need that. Ways we can help include:
- A confidential 1:1 telephone listening service with our trained volunteers – speaking to somebody who is not connected to family or friends allows for a different kind of conversation that can help the grieving process
- Linking you in with one of our local volunteer-led support groups with the view to meeting others who are also grieving
- A referral to one of our complementary therapist.
There are many more ways in which we can support you and your family – please get in touch with the Supportive Care Team on 01392 688008 or supportivecare@hospiscare.co.uk.

Grief Chat
Grief Chat was created by bereavement experts and by clicking on the Grief Chat box in the righthand corner of this page, you can chat directly online to a specially trained bereavement counsellor. Grief Chat counsellors are experienced in supporting bereaved people and will listen to your story, explore how your grief is affecting you and help you to find any additional support you might need.
Grief Chat is a completely free service that is available Monday – Friday, 9am-9pm (excluding bank holidays). Access the service by sending a message on the pop up box in the bottom righthand corner of this web page.
