Resources for bereavement/grief & loss

    A number of my past posts have contained lists of online resources, but this one is going to consist entirely of a list.  Because I've been researching this lately, and I didn't find it the easiest thing to do.  So if it helps just one person out there, I'll be pleased.

(Note: these resources are UK ones, but websites, at least, should hopefully be available from outside the UK.)

• Get help with grief after bereavement or loss - NHS
• 7 Cups Grief forum Grief & Loss Community Forum | Online Grief & Loss Groups | 7 Cups (note: avoid paying any of the "therapists" available on the site as they may not be who they claim to be, and do not bother trying to engage with the volunteer 'listeners' available on the site, either.  However, the forum and the sharing circle events can be helpful.)

See also the collated general mental health resources already published in previous blog posts: https://portraitofperpetualperplexity.blogspot.com/2026/02/weathering-storm.html (there may very likely be duplication with the above).

    I don't know if it's possible to bookmark a blog post, so I've also published the above list as a Blogger page and linked it here.
