Greater Essex Bereavement support in the community Published by Essex County Council for Greater Essex Resilience Forum April 2020 Greater Essex Bereavement Support Many people in Essex, Southend and Thurrock will sadly experience bereavement, grief and loss during the corona virus pandemic. Measures to reduce the spread of Covid-19 may increase the emotional impact of losing somebody, whether as a result of the virus or not. Bereaved people may feel more isolated and cut off from support networks. It is important that family, friends and communities seeking support at this time are able to talk to somebody they trust who will listen, empathise and point them to professional advice where necessary. There are many online sources of trusted information and support in relation to bereavement and a number of these can be found by following the link below. For those that require more structured support we suggest you contact your GP but the link below also includes details of the Hospices across Greater Essex who provide clinical bereavement support. The Hospice teams will talk to you about your bereavement and help to identify the right source of support. essex.gov.uk/coronavirus-and-faith/bereavement-support In response to the expected increase in demand for general support for bereavement, Essex County Council have worked with Faith group, voluntary and community sector partners to create a directory of local contacts in the community who can provide a listening ear and help to signpost you to other support. We are grateful to all those people who have come forward to offer this network of support. All the contacts who have offered to provide emotional and wellbeing support have shared some key principles. These include providing someone to listen and signpost, to encourage onward referral to a GP and to apply their own organisational procedures in relation to safeguarding and GDPR (data protection). 1 Greater Essex: Bereavement support in the community.
