                   This site is here to support you no matter where in the world you come from.

Bereavement is indeed one of the most painful emotions the human body has to deal with during our lifetime. 

So this site was created to be a lifeline to help you, especially after the initial support drops off. The phone rings less and less, and people call to see us less frequently. Daily life and living takes over and we now feel totally lost and very alone.

This is where BereavementUK can be of enormous  help and support to you. The pain you may be feeling right now can seem almost unbearable at times but will be fully understood and felt by the people of all ages we have in our Groups.  They offer a listening ear, friendly support and advice with comforting words on those lonely days and nights and will be there for you for as long as you need them.


This site uses two groups: The first you can register, read and post immediately Support Forum and the second, also  free, gives membership to our Yahoo Group and is there for you to post and receive e-mail messages to and from other Group members. Both these groups know exactly how you are feeling and will help you through this heartbreaking time.



Many have left a beautiful dedication in our  Dreambook

Thank you to everyone who has left a dedication in our Dreambook.  But of course you will not get responded to using this book. So we now have a new very simple Support Forum that is as easy to use as the Dreambook.  Registration is free and instant to start to read, post and receive support from others who are going through the same pain you feel now.  

Please post in there, it really could make all the difference to you and someone else.

Footprints

One night a man had a dream.  He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.  Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.  For each scene , he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.  When the last scene of his life flashed before him,  he looked back at the footprints in the sand.  He noticed that many times along the path of his life,  that there was only one set of footprints.  He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.  This really bothered him,  and he questioned the Lord about it.  " Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way.  But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of my life, there is only one set of footprints.  I don't understand why,  when I needed you most you would leave me".  The Lord replied "My Son, My precious child. I Love You, and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you".

When I come to the end of the road

And the sun has set for me

I want no rites in a gloom filled room

Why cry for a soul set free

 

Miss me a little, but not for long

And not with you head bowed low

Remember the love that once we shared

Miss me but let me go

 

For this is a journey we all must take

And all must go alone

Its all part of the master plan

A step on the road to home

 

When you are lonely and sick at heart

Go to the friends we know

Laugh at the things we used to do

Miss me but let me go

From your heartbroken wife Penny





We are using the free to join YAHOO! GROUPS. It works better than a live chat room, because members get replies via E-mail. That is unless you choose just to log on to send and receive within the Yahoo-Group site. This may be more to your liking so why not give it a try.  It's very easy to register and once approved you will find great warmth and friendship from people who know and understand every emotion you are suffering.

After friendly introductions, new members found any fears of talking to strangers about their deepest, saddest times, were met with overwhelming support.

 We also have a picture gallery that we share photos of our loved ones, and many other wonderful images. Please click here to take a look and maybe place your favourite photo's after you have registered. Remember it's all free with no strings attached.

 I have been asked to do this appeal from a PhD student.

Dear Bereavement UK members,

 

My name is William Odom and I am a PhD student researcher (based at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh) conducting research in Cambridge this summer. I am starting work on a study aimed at exploring the ways in which people use objects in their home to remember or otherwise honour the lives of loved ones that have passed on. I am also interested in how people currently use digital technology to memorialise their loved ones. The general idea of the research is that if we better understand how people think about and carry out the processes of memorialisation on personal levels, we might be able to better and more sensitively support these critical actions and experiences in the future (likely with technology, but perhaps in other ways too).

 

On a personal level, I can relate to how issues of bereavement can make discussing some issues difficult. I'm currently looking for people that might be interested in participating in my study that have had adequate coping time (which could be many years) and would feel comfortable with reflecting on objects in their home and how these things work to memorialise or support remembrance of their loved ones.

 

Participation in the study would consist of a 1 hour in-home interview, which will mainly focus on questions related to the various ways in which objects help aid remembrance. You can opt out of the interview at any time and all information collected will be kept completely confidential. Ideally, I would like to find participants in Southern England (however I could also travel elsewhere)—and I could most likely accommodate any time and date that would be convenient. For your time and help, I can also compensate each household with £20 worth of vouchers from a location of your choice (Tesco’s, Borders, etc.) Finally, I would be happy to keep in touch with participants and send notifications about how the research progresses.

 

Thank you very much for your consideration. If you have any questions do contact me via email: wo@willodom.com or via phone: 07916512314 and more information is available about me at www.willodom.com

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Sincerely,

William Odom
