Coping with bereavement can be frightening and distressing. It's also a very personal experience and everyone deals with the loss of a loved one differently. If you need some support, these services can help.
Bereavement support
The Good Grief Trust provides information and practical and emotional support when you experience grief, or if you need to support someone else through grief and loss.
Helpful information, stories from others who have had a similar loss, emotional and practical support, and signposting to a whole range of support services can be found on their website.

Stopping post from known organisations
To stop mail from known organisations, it works best to make direct contact them by post, email or phone. Let them know the person’s full name and postal address, advise them of the death and ask them to remove them from mailing lists.
