Marie Curie Telephone Bereavement Support

If you want to talk to someone following a bereavement, we’re here for you. Whether your bereavement was expected, happened recently or was some time ago, we can help. We can also support you before your loved one dies.

When you start using the service, you'll be matched with a specially trained volunteer who'll give you regular bereavement support. They'll provide a safe space where you can talk openly about the things that are worrying you.

You can access up to six telephone sessions of 45 minutes.

Marie Curie Telephone Bereavement Service is not a counselling service. Our volunteers are here to offer you a safe, confidential space to discuss your feelings and emotions around bereavement.

The service may not be suitable for people who require a greater level of support, such as counselling or psychotherapy.
