Bereavement Support

We will all experience grief and loss in our lives. How this impacts us can be different for everyone.

Each individual experience of grief is unique and can depend on many factors, such as their relationship with the person who has died, family dynamics, work situation or financial considerations, to name just a few. There is no correct way to grieve. Some may be able to find their own way through grief while others may feel the need for some help and support. The Bereavement Service at Beatson Cancer Charity can help, from information and advice to more structured support.

Our support starts with a conversation- How are you feeling? What are you finding difficult? What do you feel you need help with? You may not know the answer to any of these questions. That is ok. Our team of professionals are skilled in working with you to identify the support you may require and create a plan which suits your needs and helps you work towards what is important to you.

We can offer one-to-one telephone support sessions, and information and signposting. We also run an eight-week bereavement group support programme throughout the year which is held at various non-clinical venues across Glasgow.

If you are an adult who has been bereaved through cancer and your loved one received care from the West of Scotland Beatson Cancer Centre or other west of Scotland hospitals, please get in touch.
